One of the defining images of the modern locker room isn't a fiery postgame speech or a group of guys strategizing -- it's players with their heads down, buried in their phones.
The impact? It's not good.
I've seen the negative impact social media can have, particularly with younger players who grew up with Twitter and Instagram as an integral part of life.
A player checking Twitter at halftime? I've seen it.
A player tweeting out a grievance with an organization about playing time or how he is being utilized? I see it far too often.
