054 The Importance of Effective Communication in Sports
An important element of mental toughness that is often not thought about is our ability to communicate effectively, both on a 1-2-1 basis and in groups. In some individual sports, this skill is arguably not as important as it is in team sports or in the workplace. However, you will still be required to assert yourself with your coach or team on occasions so it shouldn’t be forgotten about. In team settings, it is an essential skill that can be developed and is critical if you are to fulfill your potential. Today Jamie Forrester, Paul McGee, and Mark Bennett highlight the need to have interpersonal confidence where different social situations that we find ourselves in are explored.
