Hellvig does well in interviews. Doesn't say anything anything that's TMI, or anything regrettable or confusing, or that could wind up on the opposition's locker room wall. Keeps it short and sweet. But the rest of the team and coaching staff all need a short course in Risk Communication. How odd it is that a young 18-year old Swedish foreign student is the team's best communicator. I believe all the athletes get some media training. Every player or coach is different. Nikki Taylor was really articulate and smart. For coaches, Beeman is quite good as well. I've actually grown to like Robyn's blunt talk. She doesn't put on airs. What you see is what you get. Dave could also be gruff at times; especially after a loss.

You are a product of your environment. You speak the way you do because of how you grew up. Hanna was taught well and probably didn’t have any bad habits in learning the language.
She could pick some up some bd habits before she graduates though...LOL😀
You know?...Eh.....Yo....Brah.....da kine....

I have been watching the Davis match over and over again (the last 3 sets) and I have to say Amber has the best facial expressions. she also probably has the scariest expressions when she’s serious and all fired up.

It's work to communicate well, so many people don't.

Western European in general have a much more rigorous schooling system and their overall, a bit more mature and articulate than their US counterparts in age because of that earlier on. Also, English is taught early so they speak pretty good English overall.

I don’t mind the occasional You knows?, but I hated Timmy Chang’s interviews. He used to say it before almost every sentence and sometimes multiple times in a sentence. I think he might’ve said it 20+ times in a few interviews. Growing up, we were taught not to say “Ummm” when you’re doing a presentation, but instead to think of what you’re trying to say. Marcus Mariota says it a lot in his interviews, but he’s been getting better. You know? 😝

I wonder if dribbling the ball helps their concentration or nerves before they serve? If you notice or pay attention the girls that do usually keep the serve in. It's like a developing a free throw routine. They tell you to do the same thing all the time, consistency and repetition.

In my travels there, and that of my friends and family, we found communicating with most locals fairly easy, especially among the younger to middle aged folks. Made the whole tourist experience there much easier and pleasant.

Amber is so fun to watch. Sky has a smile that lights the room, but Amber just gets so into it. I forget what match it was, but when Amber got that dig after serving, that has been one of the moments of the season so far.

Forgive my ignorance about UH VB, plus Hawaiian culture and language (I'm from Oregon, then Alaska) but in rural areas of both of my states, there are idioms that are indecipherable to an urban, or an Oregonian's, ear (Anchorage is AK's "urban"). I know there is a dialect, called "pidgin"(sp?), in HI: is that what brooselee's "Ey...yo...brah...da kine" is about?

It's like a developing a free throw routine. They tell you to do the same thing all the time, consistency and repetition. New thought is that the best way to practice and prepare is to not do the same exact routine over and over, but to vary the routine a bit. Vary where you stand in practice, vary your concentration and focus, vary the distractions and background, vary whether you look inward or seek guidance, vary if or how hard you 'dribble', vary how long you take to pull the trigger. If you do the same exact thing over and over with no variation in practice, you are less likely to develop the ability to adjust to situational need, or to develop or retain knowledge of innovative change. It's a bit like incorporating the benefits of cross-training. You become more well-rounded, less 'brittle', and more unshakeable.

Most people who are born and raised from Hawaii can understand this dialect very easily when typed or spoken. It’s also very contagious to use and learn when you're around people who speak it a lot. How contagious? I used to manage a call center in Portland, Oregon. Coincidentally the person who asked for a manger was from Hawaii and spoke heavy pigeon.... my pigeon came out very natural as we spoke and the caller joked how my English went from proper to broken real quick. University of Hawaii now offers a course on it 😁

Andy Bumatai? Bulaia?
