Do professional sports-(wo)men get media interview training / coaching?
A few years back I picked up Aussie cricketers had begun the answer to a journo's question with "Listen" - I thought it sounded quite demeaning and belittling ....

That's all folks ....

Drives me nuts when commentators use the expression "xx failed/managed to get that ball under his spell".

They're footballers not b****y Harry Potter.......!

Snobathon in here then?

Footballers are ball kickers by trade and not public speakers.. In fact it amazes me that some can manage to string together a coherent sentence and some cant do that, Rio Ferdinand springs to mind as well as a certain former Albion Goalkeeper.
