What has football got to do with public speaking??!!!

There are many things that we can learn from sports. Today, let’s look at a football match.

Imagine there are two teams, the blue team and the red team.

The blue team has 11 adult players.

The red team has 100 players consisting of teenagers.

A football match is being played between the two teams where 11 players from the blue team will play against the 100 players from the red team simultaneously. (11 vs 100)

Now, if you were to choose, which team do you think will win?

Watch this funny video and find out for yourself :)



Remember my dear friends, if you squeeze too much information into your speech, it doesn’t necessary mean that you will be able to score more points with the audience. As a matter of fact, you might end up confusing your audience. Your speech presentation will be just like what the 100 players in the video produced. Total chaos.

Try to adopt a different approach. Go for less points but pack it with more quality. You will find that it will be much easier to drive your message home.

Indeed, less is more.
