COMMUNICATION

Generally, the way we begin our message often determines the outcome.

Be careful about the first few words. People often decide to either accept our message (talk) or reject it based on your opening sentences.

Be confident with your Communication, you know better than anyone else what you are saying.

• Eye contact: This helps to regulate the flow of communication.
• Facial Expressions: Smiling is a powerful cue that transmits happiness, friendliness, warmth, and liking
• Gestures: If you fail to gesture while speaking you may be perceived as boring and stiff
• Posture and body orientation: You communicate numerous messages by the way you talk and move.
• Vocal: Speaking can signal nonverbal communication when you include such vocal elements as: tone, pitch, rhythm, loudness, and inflection

The real communication is the message received.

Communicating within your team is often crucial to your success, both on and off the ground, or whatever sport you play.
