I am sure you have all seen this story about the Jersey Shore MTV reality show host Snookie that got punched in a bar incident (Daily Mail). Take a look at this video on YouTube.
Pay attention to the look in the guy’s eyes and look at his body language right before she gets punched. What do you think he is thinking? Refer back to Coach Freedman’s blog entry Perception of Body Language. Do you think that a little bit more awareness might have let her avoid this situation or be more ready for it? Was this guy some kind of thug? No, he was a public school teacher (NY Post).
This shows us how quickly a violent situation can develop and how we always have to use our awareness to prevent it from happening to us.
