The communicating coach
When it comes to being a communicating coach its more than just saying go here or go there or do this or do that. It means responding to individual players and there needs to better themselves and the team, and this should go without saying as a coach. One of the large and successful ways that a coach can actually communicate with the players is simply by sending out non-verbal messages. Lets say a player has done domething good and you want to tell him about it but you can’t cause your in the middle of a game.
Do you let him or her know with body language? Being a communicating coach is so important even on individual plays, so you can let a player know if you are happy or unhappy with their actions, and it also tells them what they may or may not need to do in a given situation.
Its important when being a communicating coach to not only let your players know th best move that they need to make next but to really communicate as a coach to the team what the next best move is as a whole. Through expression of character and coach communication, this will help to more than ensure that all of the players are able to not only understand what needs to be done as a team, but then effectively reciprocate what you have said by showing it with a better game. This helps the players know when the coach is communicating that he has confidence in his team and what they can do. Are you doing this as a coach?
