Not a benefit of media training?

• A. Building draft status
• B. Help with becoming a spokesman
• C. Building the player's playing time
• D. Creating a likeable image for the athlete

Answer: (C)

Media training teaches how to communicate with the media and shape a positive public image. It directly helps you become a clear, confident spokesperson and creates a likeable profile that fans and sponsors respond to. Those are practical benefits of media training. It does not directly affect on-field opportunities like playing time, which depend on performance, coach decisions, and team needs. Draft status might be influenced indirectly by media perception, but playing time remains a function of on-court performance, not media training. Therefore, the item that isn’t a benefit is the one about increasing playing time.
