Effective Communication in Teaching and Coaching
Communication System Challenges
Weaver (1959) identified three levels of challenges in communication systems:
- Technical Problems: How accurately can the desired information be transmitted?
- Semantic Problems: How precisely does the conveyed message reflect the intended meaning?
- Effectiveness Problems: How effectively does the received message influence the recipient’s behavior as desired?
Essential Aspects of Information in Teaching and Coaching
- Objective and Accurate: Information should be descriptive

Resistance
Resistance is the capacity that allows us to maintain physical effort for a long time and recover more quickly afterward. Several elements influence muscular resistance:
- Type of muscle fiber: fast or slow
- Energy stores
- Ability to remove lactic acid, which causes fatigue
Other systems also play a role:
- Nervous system: Coordination of muscles during movement
- Circulatory system: Amount of oxygen and energy substances in the blood
- Respiratory system: Ability to carry oxygen to the body
