Every coach I have ever had mentioned at one point the importance of
communication on the field. It could be the difference between winning and losing,
they would always say. Maturing on the soccer field as a player over the years,
I continued to learn what it meant to communicate productively on the field. Instruction
comes from the coach, but the leaders on the field must communicate that message to
the rest of the team to obtain a positive result.
