In this episode, we take a look at the coachspeak narrative of "body language screams," and why that is harmful to our profession and our athletes. There are several moments in the episode where we ask you, as a listener, to pause and reflect about what we're talking about and we hope that you will share what your reflections were. We deep dive into the recruiting process and how that manifests itself once players are already on campus. We also have a discussion and ask key questions about the youth sports, particularly high school, process and how body language has become weaponized over the last decade as a decider of playing time, influence, and treatment in the midst of a power dynamic that the athlete cannot overcome. Overall, this discussion is based solely around the idea that body language is important, but not nearly as important as it's been made out to be.
