Even though he wasn’t my first choice, I’m glad to see Coach Grant at the Univ. of Alabama now. We can only improve from here. Looking at his resume, he has recruited some highly talented players at Florida, and I just learned he won three high school state titles in Florida before coaching in college.
I just hope he’s not a bust, because Mark Gottfried was considered an up-and-coming young coach when we hired him. I wanted someone a little more proven than Grant, (like Mike Anderson) but it’s a done deal and I’m happy.
He got a very good reception at the airport today. Roz and I were there, and he had to be impressed by the support from the fans.
How To Read A Person Like A Book
I’m reading this book by Nierenberg and Calero, and it’s very interesting. Do you ever think about non-verbal communication? or wonder what someone is really thinking when they talk to you with their arms folded or hands on hips? I don’t think there’s any reason to dig too deep into it, but it’s interesting to study.
I do like watching people at airports or sporting events–anywhere where there are many strangers together. You should try it. See who seems confident, nervous, shy, frustrated, etc. Watch their hands, fingers, voice fluctuations, posture, and other non-verbals.
Think about your visitors. When they are getting ready to leave, they may position their bodies as if to get up and go. A smart host will notice this and say “it’s getting late…” I don’t claim to be good at any of this, but I like to read about it and practice it; so I’ll try harder.
This could be important in dating. I’m not going to talk about that because I’m no expert, but it might be helpful to know if the lady you’re with is bored or not. I’m sure there were many times I didn’t pick up on my date’s signs, but oh well. I’m glad I only get to date my wife now.
