COMMUNICATING WITH COACHES AND ATHLETES DEVELOP EFFECTIVE COMMUNI-
CATION SKILLS FOR INTERACTING WITH COACHES
1. Question: When setting boundaries with a coach, how many "I" statements should you use to effectively
communicate your needs?
Solution: Using "I" statements can help assertively communicate your boundaries while avoiding blame
or accusations. It is recommended to use 3-4 "I" statements when expressing your needs to a coach. These
statements should focus on your feelings, thoughts, and needs in a situation, such as "I feel overwhelmed
when I have too many tasks assigned at once." This approach encourages open dialogue and mutual under-
standing between you and your coach. Therefore, the numerical answer is between 3 and 4 "I" statements.
2. Question: In a sports team meeting, Coach Smith provides constructive feedback to each player on
their performance. If there are 15 players on the team and each player receives feedback for an average of 5
minutes, how long will it take Coach Smith to provide feedback to all players?
Solution:
Number of players on the team = 15 Average time to provide feedback to each player = 5 minutes
Total time to provide feedback to all players = Number of players * Average time per player Total time
= 15 players * 5 minutes/player Total time = 75 minutes
Therefore, Coach Smith will take 75 minutes to provide feedback to all 15 players on the team.
3. Question: When actively listening to a coach, how many non-verbal communication cues should you
pay attention to according to the active listening techniques?
Solution: According to active listening techniques, you should pay attention to seven non-verbal com-
munication cues when actively listening to a coach. These cues include facial expressions, body language,
tone of voice, gestures, eye contact, posture, and overall demeanor. By being mindful of these cues, you can
better understand the coach’s message and show that you are engaged in the conversation.
4. Question: During a feedback session, a coach provides an athlete with 4 areas of improvement. The
athlete receives the feedback positively and actively listens, asking clarifying questions about each area. If
the athlete successfully addresses 3 out of the 4 areas in their next training session, what is the percentage
of improvement based on the coach’s feedback?
Solution: To calculate the percentage of improvement based on the coach’s feedback, we first need to
determine the total number of areas the athlete needs to work on which is 4. Since the athlete successfully
addresses 3 out of the 4 areas, we calculate the percentage of improvement using the formula:
Percentage of Improvement = (Number of areas improved / Total number of areas) * 100
Plugging in the values:
Percentage of Improvement = (3 / 4) * 100 = 0.75 * 100 = 75
Therefore, the athlete showed a 75
5. Question: If a coach expects an athlete to complete 100 practice shots per day for a month, how many
total shots should the athlete aim to make during that time?
Solution: To calculate the total number of shots the athlete needs to make in a month, we first multiply
the number of practice shots per day by the number of days in a month.
Number of practice shots per day = 100 Number of days in a month = 30
Total shots in a month = Practice shots per day * Number of days in a month Total shots in a month =
100 * 30 Total shots in a month = 3000
Therefore, the athlete should aim to make 3000 total shots in a month to meet the coach’s expectations.

the total number of specific suggestions, we multiply the number of feedback points by the number of
suggestions per point:
3 feedback points x 5 specific suggestions per point = 15 specific suggestions
