Just ask Mark Sanchez, quarterback of the New York Jets. Sanchez was struggling to overcome negativity and wanted to improve his body language whenever he faced adversity or inferior performance. He reached out to his team for the help and support that could make him a better player. His team has responded. For practices (let's face it, that is when it matters because behaviors can be corrected), there is now a system of fines in place if Sanchez shows poor body language.
Positive body language will clearly save Mark Sanchez money this season. NY Jets Offensive Coordinator, Brian Schottenheimer, when asked if last season would have been costly for Sanchez (if the system was in place) quipped "as much money as he has, he'd be broke with all the body language he had last year." As coaches, we constantly preach the importance of good body language. With the support of his team, Mark Sanchez is taking strides toward personal improvement and has made himself financially accountable for that growth. Select the link for the complete story:
