Softball Tips - How Listening Is Important

Over the last few days since I've re-introduced both my Super Coaching Bundle and Super Pitching Bundle and the response has been just great. People loves those bundles.

However, several of my subscribers emailed us to ask if I would accept Paypal payments which I didn't. They prefer Paypal for various reason.

Since I am always about listening to what my subscribers and customers want, I gadly added the Paypal as a payment option for these two super bundles. You see, I listen to what you want!

That led me to think that as coaches and teammates sometimes, we don't listen enough.

We all know communication is important. It's actually the foundation of human relationships.

In my years in coaching and training, I've witnessed many times coaches and athletes not listening to each other.

I even admit that I, at times, didn't listen as much as I should have.

I think everybody is guilty sometimes of not listening when they should.

However, I think it's important as coaches and athletes to listen more to others. It's mutually beneficial.

What do I mean by listening more?

I mean that it's important to take time to really listen to your athletes or teammates to get them to know more, get to know what their needs are, what they want, and how to be a better coach or teammate to them.

It means asking questions and especially paying good attention to what they are saying so that you truly understand what they mean.

Listening is a skill and it's more difficult to do than we think.

How about your try it? 

I challenge you to become an even better listener. Make a conscious effort today and this week to listen more to the people around you.

You might be amazed at what you can learn about them, they'll respect you more, appreciate you more and you'll be able to related to them more.

They say that communication is 25% talking, 75% listening. You got TWO ears and ONLY ONE mouth for a reason
