Rick McGuire - Building Great Communication

It can be reasonably argued that the ability to communicate effectively is that most important skill a person can have.

In fact, communication is involved in almost every position in every field, particularly in coaching.

In that regard, coaches must be able to successfully get their points across to their athletes if their athletes are to learn what they need to do to master the fundamental requirements of their sport.

In a very real sense, proper communication is critical to sound teaching.

Building Great Communication, by Rick McGuire, looks at the mechanisms of effective communication and outlines what coaches can do to build rapport with players.

Among the topics covered:

• The burden of responsibility
• Respect others
• Communicate with...
• Develop good mechanisms of communication
• Catch them doing something right!
• Communicating your observations
