They are also mistaking "emotion" for passion.

He is a robot. How is he supposed to rev the boys up by being as boring as a stick. Maybe that's why Goodwin is getting bottom 4 results from a top 4 list.

C'mon doc now you are just being silly.

Surely as a doctor you are not so naive as to equate his public persona to how he is with his players?  

He has never been a good media performer, he clearly hates it. He often appears on edge. It is not his go, like say Paul 'Hollywood Roos.

In fact it is more than possible that part of his challenge in his media work is keeping his emotions, particularly frustration,  in check.

You see it all the time in work settings and people doing media (eg politicians) - fighting to hide emotions (anger, frustration, sadness, disdain etc etc).

The skilled performers hide it well. The not so skilled performers either lose their composure and their emotion is clear or find other strategies to hide it. Like going the other way and showing little emotion.
