A major element of successful coaching is effective communication, this means passing on and getting back information. They are equally as important. How a coach communicates and builds relationships with players determines their coaching style.

Some coaches do a lot of telling and showing and in the past did very little checking of the players understanding. Good modern coaches will tell and show but also do plenty of questioning and listening. Understanding the different ways that players learn will help the coach to differentiate their approach to ensure that the best learning opportunities are offered.
