I am a goalkeeper in soccer which means I require good communication with other players and a lack of communication can cause confusion between players. My communication with defenders as a goalkeeper is generally confident, which helps in building trust. However, my verbal clarity can sometimes be lacking, leading to misunderstandings. Additionally, I focus on non-verbal communication which for many can cause confusion.
To improve, I need to simplify and shorten my verbal commands to ensure they are quickly and easily understood during fast-paced moments. I should stop using non-verbal communication and focus on verbal communication primarily, and reduce confusion among defenders.
What I must improve in:
- Simplify verbal commands by using clear and short wording.
- Focus on prioritizing my verbal communication over my non-verbal communication.
- Seek feedback from defenders or generally people I communicate with after each game/setting to evaluate how effective my communication is and make changes as needed.
