Body Language

12/7/2022

0 Comments

 
There are three “body language” positions you  should avoid on the court:

1. Arms folded across the chest.

2. Hands in pockets.

3. Hands on Hips.

These postures could be interpreted to coaches, players and fans  that you are bored, or you don’t want to be there, or you are disinterested. Make your first impression one that will stand out for positive reasons and not negative reasons.
