How to Intimidate - based on Culture and Sport | Savenaca Vocea | TEDxUBIWiltz

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Savenaca: "I believe that one can stimulate fear in opposition through intimidation using verbal and non-verbal actions. These actions effect you, your surroundings knocking on to your opposition. Although I am sure there are many ways of doing this, I have narrowed them down to 4."

Savenaca: "I am a Fijian, lived most of my life in Fiji and have learned many traditions and history concerning my heritage. From ceremonies to dances I have immersed myself in them and made sure to learn as much as I can and understand where I come from and who I am.

I left Fiji to go to Belgium due to my father's job as the ambassador of Fiji. Living in Belgium I have played rugby from club level to International level representing Belgium rugby 7-a-side and 15-a-side Black Devils. Intimidation is one of the battles I have come to realize is imperative in a sport like this. With my experience as an international rugby player and from what I have learnt from my culture, I have made methods that I know works to intimidate oppositions.
