Message: [QUOTE="bags27, post: 2010233, member: 6761"] Watching the Geno show on another thread, I got to thinking: If you listen to Geno's speech pattern, there are occasionally complex-compound sentences, but mostly they're simple declarative sentences: subject, verb, object. There are so many simple sentences in succession followed by pauses in between those sentences that the listener can grasp easily the infrequent compound sentences. And, he hits his analogies perfectly and keeps his concepts simple. Plus he has fabulous voice modulation. He could talk for an hour straight and keep the listener both intrigued and trusting. At the end of the day, some leaders/teachers are just more blessed with inherently more effective ways of communicating. For all the x's and o's, for all the energy spent on recruiting, for all the effort put into assembling a staff, for all his (in)famous brutal honesty as motivational psychology, Geno's capacity to communicate and hold the attention of his players may be his most important coaching skill. It is that skill that makes more effective all the others. [MEDIA=youtube]UmsZaen3HAc[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
