“Like a red rag to a bull.” Body language expert shocks in the Świątek case

24

Body language expert Łukasz Kaca analyses Iga Świątek’s relationship with coach Wim Fissette, pointing out communication problems. “I have the impression that his method of motivation works on Świątek like a red rag to a bull,” he says in an interview with “Fakt”.

Iga Świątek has been working with Belgian coach Wim Fissette since October last year. Despite his efforts, Świątek has yet to win any tournaments under his care. Body language expert Łukasz Kaca, in an interview with “Fakt”, indicates that the problem may be the way Fissette tries to motivate the player.

Kaca notices that communication between Świątek and Fissette is not effective. – Watching Wim Fissette, you can see that he tries to be a supportive person for her, but his gestures and words do not reach Iga, explains the expert. As a result, instead of support, Świątek feels frustrated, which affects her sports results.

An additional challenge in the relationship between Świątek and Fissette is the language barrier. Although they both speak English well, it is not their native language. In stressful situations, this can further complicate cooperation. “In the case of strong emotions, they can miss various nuances,” Kaca emphasizes.

The expert points out that the lack of chemistry between Świątek and Fissette may be due to the inappropriate timing of the start of the collaboration. – Fissette came at the worst possible time, because the problem is primarily in the head – adds Kaca. Cooperation with psychologist Daria Abramowicz may not be enough to solve these problems.
