PCA video: Notre Dame coach Mike Brey discusses body language
Mike Brey is the head men’s basketball coach at the University of Notre Dame. He led his 2014-2015 team to the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament. His success in South Bend includes leading nearly every one of his teams to post-season play and being named Big East Coach of the Year in 2007, 2008 and 2011.

Mike emphasizes here how attuned he is to players’ body language. Bad body language can be “cancerous.” So he learns to read his players’ body language early, to the point where he can tell at the start of practice what kid of day they’ve had. One technique he uses to correct bad body language is showing video to players so they can see themselves sending negative messages to teammates or even themselves.
