Today’s Solo Podcast focuses on the importance of communication.
Communication is essential within teams, in coaching, and in leadership. The language we use as coaches has a huge impact on how our athletes perceive our messages and retain the information we share with them.
Sometimes, as coaches, we unknowingly miscommunicate, so it’s important for our athletes to relay the information back to us, to ensure that everybody is on the same page.
It’s essential to listen to our athletes and to understand what works for them, in order to communicate with them effectively.
It’s our job to facilitate how our different athletes communicate, and it’s essential for our athletes to communicate with us and their teammates, to improve the overall standard within the team environment.
