Communicating With Your Coach

–From USA Volleyball

Top players and coaches and other experts talk about player/coach communication… e.g., Foluke Akinradewo, two-time U.S. Olympian, says “When I communicate with coaches, I first like to tell them what my thoughts are on a certain subject, and then I’ll ask how they see it. By doing that, it opens a good line of communication for them to give their feedback. And it allows them to realize that you’re serious about wanting to get better at whatever skill you’re asking about or whatever problem you’re trying to solve.”
