COMMUNICATING ACCURATELY AND CLEARLY… THIS IS IMPORTANT IN DEVELOPING RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE MANY PEOPLE AN ATHLETE WILL MEET ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS• TYPES of Communication:

There are two different types of communication

Verbal communicationTalking, asking questions, listening, responding

Non-verbal communicationBody language, gestures, listening

Verbal communicationVerbal communication is speaking. We would use it in face to face and telephone conversations. Often we change the tone, pitch, pace and volume of the words we say depending on the message we are trying to get across.  

 Non-Verbal communicationNon verbal communication is all about sending signals or making gestures, and includes facial expression and body language.

Body language/ Gestures/ Listening

For example, a coach on the touchline may send instructions to players by using gestures or signals.

ACTIVE ListeningWhy/ How/ Where/ What/ When

• It is essential for your employer to see that you can communicate efficiently and accurately, and may be the difference between being offered an interview or not.

READING AND WRITING

If you are writing to a potential employer, you would choose a

formal style. This means:- Being concise and clear- Having a good structure:- Avoid using text language- Avoid incorrect spellings- Avoid the use of slang

Informal communication would be when writing a text, or sending an email to friend. The rules of formal communication are not as necessary in this situation.

Reading:Skimming:- Going through texts at speed in order to give you a flavour of the text

Scanning:- Looking for information such as an address or topic

Searching:- Know what you are looking for and finding key words/ phrases

PERSONAL DELIVERY

Body Language:- How we present our

body can be an indication of what/ how we are feeling

Confidence= Upright position,/ posture, with shoulders pulled back and relaxed facial expressions

Uptight/ Insecure= Crossed arms/ legs and fidgeting leads to a feeling of being uncomfortable.

Language and Speech:- These reflect the

thoughts and feelings we are experiencing.
