That is why we recorded the students. That is when they realize how many "tics" they have ....."Ummm", "Ya Know", "Like" and "OK". Some people use it at the beginning and end of every sentence without notice. Once the kids realize that everyone has some issue, we just saved time in recording by having the kids as human buzzers who went "eeeeeeehhhh" every time some used a "tic" or rocked back and forth at the podium. It became a fun thing because everyone knew they were just trying to make everyone better....not embarrass them. Fine tune the "Look back and forth at the audience while you speak and it turned out the were they best group we ever took to the Governors meetings. Working together worked. They realized that they weren't just the best students there but they were better than 90% of the legislators as well. No tics, No wobbling or swaying, Good eye contact and talk slow and pause at each sentence. What an amazing confidence booster for those kids who went on to run businesses, be salesman and insurance agents and others. Damned proud of that group of kids. Damned proud. The best part was they all realized they were really a team and part of something special. It is so fulfilling when it works. If the first kids felt insulted or picked on....the entire project would have fallen apart. They decided to be a team and it was soooooo fulfillingAnd in today’s world…do NOT use the word “like” in every sentence!! Didn’t happen so much today, but many podcasts are unbearable with the use of “like”
More responding to what public speaking students should know.
I enjoyed listening to Sam’s podcast with Jude Swisher."Kids" can be great for providing insight. The first time I became aware of Sam Herring was him announcing or podcasting or something when he was probably in elementary school
…but not more than Musberger said “paardner”Basch is okay in small doses. He says someone’s a “dawg” more than Kirk Herbstreit says “physicality”.
You took the time to come to message board to complain about and criticize a literal child lol. Maybe relax a tiny bitSo on Flo Live’s recap of the conference tournaments this weekend, Pyles has Jason Nolf on the show. Great.
However, he also decides to put his son Caleb on the show. Not great. In fact, ridiculous. To have to listen to his obnoxious know-it-all son talk like he has child prodigy like knowledge on college wrestling is a bit much. Especially when Jason is there and being talked over. Really Christian, if you want to showcase this kid, put him on maybe a Rutgers Maryland recap. Not the B10 finals.
So concludes my rant for the day.
I have never liked Basch, but I am sure he's a nice guy. It's his cadence. I cannot get used to it and it irks me enough to not enjoy listening to him.Basch is pretty good when he's paired with Willie or Cenzo and it's just a natural conversation.
But when he's 1-on-1 with someone else and starts asking questions, Luis Tiant thinks he has a long windup.

Not sure who he is. Psalm made a joke. And we started talking about when Pyles was a forums guyCaveira works for Flo?
Some just need to ***** to be happy, don’t like it turn it off. I thought the kid did a great job and is pretty knowledgeable of the sportSo on Flo Live’s recap of the conference tournaments this weekend, Pyles has Jason Nolf on the show. Great.

Not criticizing a child, criticizing a parent to put a child in a position to talk over a wrestling legend. Cringe by any measure.You took the time to come to message board to complain about and criticize a literal child lol. Maybe relax a tiny bit
also, "to have to listen," fun fact, no you don't
Then criticize Nolf because he said I'm not coming on unless Caleb does.Not criticizing a child, criticizing a parent to put a child in a position to talk over a wrestling legend. Cringe by any measure.
"Kids" can be great for providing insight. The first time I became aware of Sam Herring was him announcing or podcasting or something when he was probably in elementary school
So calling a child an “obnoxious know-it-all son” is not criticizing the child. Got it.Not criticizing a child, criticizing a parent to put a child in a position to talk over a wrestling legend. Cringe by any measure.
That podcast was later on. Herring was probably in Jr high when that started. Herring announced a tournament or just did interviews for it when he was in elementary school when I first saw him.he and jude swisher were WIN magazine's journalists of the year for their Home Mat Advantage podcast. now jude is the 6 seed at ncaa's
So calling a child an “obnoxious know-it-all son” is not criticizing the child. Got it.
I just couldn't understand everything he said. Talks a little too fast for my older brain to process.The two Pyles did YouTube wrap-ups at least twice during the Big tourney. Caleb came across very knowledgable and many comments requested he do more. Not a single negative comment that I saw. I am sure that factored into his dad putting him on the podcast. My personal opinion is that he pays attention and has a high level of understanding for his age. No reason to criticize a kid.
Guessing here. The pace will calm as he becomes comfortable in the chair.I just couldn't understand everything he said. Talks a little too fast for my older brain to process.

I am fan of jr Pyles I think he’s funny and knowledgeable. Also it’s cool for Pyles as a father to do something he and his kid bit love.
as an iowa fan he must hate training with Nolf!I am fan of jr Pyles I think he’s funny and knowledgeable. Also it’s cool for Pyles as a father to do something he and his kid bit love.
Maybe this is the new Hawkeye boardI'm all for ***** slapping any adult who deserves it. But its a bad look to have a two page Thread about somebodies kid.
Seems like something I would see on Hawkeye Report!
Attacking kids? It was one child whose parent decided to allow on the conference recap podcast with Jason Nolf. And I did say I was too harsh.Maybe this is the new Hawkeye board. Attacking kids and all

Adjust your sarcasm meterAttacking kids? It was one child whose parent decided to allow on the conference recap podcast with Jason Nolf. And I did say I was too harsh.
Disclaimer. I like kids. Had a couple. Got a grandson. Here’s what I don’t like. Parents and grandparents who allow their kids to be part of the “Look at me” mentality that is now so prevalent.
My point was and is he offered nothing to the show. Except to be cute so everyone (but apparently me) could fawn over him. Here’s my question to all you self-righteous folks. Give me one (and I repeat ONE) thing about wrestling you learned from Caleb Pyles. Keep in mind my perception of your wrestling intelligence depends on the answer.
Tom, feel free to delete this thread anytime you would like.
Could be you are here!Maybe this is the new Hawkeye board. Attacking kids and all

Kinda hard to come up with one thing from Caleb to increase that vast knowledge in your big brain. I understand.No need to
