It is only natural to expect a certain amount of extra scrutiny when doing a job at a young age. If your performance is good enough, this should take care of itself soon enough. But coaches can/will twist anything into a negative.
On any given night your age can be used against you:
"WHY DID THEY SEND ME THIS ROOKIE?"
against your partner:
"The kid is twelve years old and he's way better than you."
against both of you:
"Hey, kid, take your grandfather and go on home."
