Tristan, 10, and his family live in Kudelstaart. His family is unusual as both Tristan’s parents are deaf, while Tristan himself can hear just fine. Tristan is great at talking to deaf people, but other people find it difficult or sometimes even uncomfortable. When Tristan’s father become the coach in Tristan’s football team, the club said he would never be a good coach. Tristan thinks that’s nonsense: his father is a brilliant football player who plays for the Dutch national team for the deaf. Tristan is confident that his father will be a good coach. He just must have the chance to prove himself.
