      Other Examples of Weird Motivation Tactics
      • Coach Mike Singletary dropping his pants in the locker room
      • “Jazz coach Quin Snyder also used a pretty good but odd motivational tactic during a timeout in the game. He didn’t like the way the Jazz were communicating with each other defensively and had a silent timeout. He just sat there, staring at his players for the entire timeout. It sent a message of intensity and spoke louder than just about anything he could have yelled at them.”
      • Phil Jackson wore some of his Chicago Bulls rings to Lakers games to motivate Lakers players before they won their first championship
      • Punter Chris Hanson hurt himself with an axe after coach Jack Del Rio brought a stump of oak and an axe to the locker room to have his players “keep choppin wood”
