As a coach there are different methods of motivating your players; some give epic speeches, some give a pat on the butt to rally their troops, but Brazil’s national team coach Phil Scolari uses a kick to the balls to ignite his players. During a training session for Brazil in preparation of their next World Cup game the Brazilian manager walked by Dani Alves, one of the defenders on his squad, and casually kicked him in the nuts. Scolari used a stealthy no-look behind-the-back kick to strike one of his own players. Alves’ soccer instincts immediately took hold of his body and he grabbed his junk and fell to the ground despite him appearing to not be hit in the groin. It’s all fun and nad-smacking until one of your players is out of a World Cup game because you ruptured his testicle.
