Mastering communication is a cinch, if the professional athletic coach has the ability to observe, ask, listen, assess and provide feedback with respect and concern. A great quote to remember is "God gave you two ears and one mouth, so you can listen twice as much" the Athletic Coach can not be an absentee leader. Being involved with informal meetings and mingling with your athlete's, giving your athlete's the ability to speak their minds freely, discuss disagreements and make useful suggestions with an open door policy. Daily basic team warm-up drills can serve a duel purpose while your athlete's are moving, their minds are in the moment. Also a great resource is an assistant coach and team captain(s) someone you can trust, are good listeners, care deeply about the team and someone who wouldn't hesitate to voice any disagreements they have with you as a professional coach.
Communication = giving and receiving a message
Communication = availability this is best done in person eye to eye.
