1) If a coach tells you you did a great job, and you believe them and feel better about yourself... then you have to believe them when they tell you that you suck. Don't put any weight behind praise that a coach gives you.
2) I always keep a large shirt in my bag. If we don't have a place to change, I put it on over my ref shirt, and get the hello out of there (with my partner, of course). Change in the car if you have to, but as Commander Kruge said, "GET OUT OF THERE!!!!" before the starship blows up.
3) I too use the fake name thing - sometimes it diffuses the person asking.
