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