To be an effective communicator in the eyes of one of the Athletic Trainers has summed up the ideas.
She stated the in order to get through to an athlete you must:
- Be specific
- Understandable, and
- Apply the treatment given to there athlete's sport.
When she says specific, she does not use non-descriptors such as thingy or that over there.
Being understandable goes directly with specifics because, you do not want to confuse the athletes any more because they already do not want to be injured.
Also, talking with athletes, you want to be short and sweet because people stop paying attention. When speaking to athletes, explain the treatment in relation to return to play stature.
