Deception is not a flaw in sport; its one of the main features that make elite sport so enjoyable to watch and so difficult to master but it is also the reason why it attracts individuals who exhibit and produce this type of behavior for the sake of producing the necessary results to win. So does that mean that being a "Snake" in sport is wrong? No not exactly but it does mean that for athletes you need to be aware and correctly prepared for the environment that you heading into. In this episode Coach B shares a recent humbling experience and how, by using the historical metaphor of being aware of Snakes, in the deceptive landscape of sport, one has to have clear objectives and seek transparency from those you work with or risk the uncomfortable fate of humiliation and disappointment when expectations are not aligned.
