Listen "214 - Language"
Episode Synopsis
Defined as a system of communication used by a particular country or community. A SYSTEM. Where you work , there’s a language. In the profession of physical therapy, only other physical therapists know what a goniometer is. ROM is short for range of motion. T tests and Tinetti’s have special meaning to us, and they’re gibberish to other professions. Yours is taht way too, I promise you that you use words every day that ONLY your profession appreciates.
Our teams are the same way. My kids know what a Man U is. They know what power circles are and locker buddies. Every Caldwell girls soccer player since the program’s inception knows what those things are. The common language unites us across generations of players. There’s beauty and poetry in that.
Every culture has a language. That’s how they tell their stories and pass on their traditions. Words evoke emotions and effort.
Are you consciously aware of the effect your language has on your players? Are you cultivating a place where certain words mean certain things, that ONLY your kids know?
