You get accustomed to it! I get a kick out of how they try to pronounce my last name when announcing my son at tournaments. Now we just laugh about it and move on, but it did bother my son at first. However I do understand your point about getting it correct at the State Tournament. Many tournaments we attend with the high school team the announcers will come over and get with us if they have a hard time pronouncing a name. I think that is what needs to be done, take pride in your job no matter what you do, and if announcing names is it then go and get help. The kids deserve to have their names pronounced correctly at the State Tournaments or other tournaments for that matter..
