Communication is key for any team. Usually when we think of communication we think of verbally speaking to one another, but it can also be non-verbal (body language, facial expressions, etc.). Communication, whether it be verbal or non-verbal, must be well understood in a team. The team must communicate efficently for them to work properly, and must be able to work as a whole along with one another.
Coaches especially need to be able to communicate with their teams. A great example is Coach Pat Summit, Head Coach for Tennessees Women's Basketball Team, she tells her players exactly what she wants done and expects her players to do exactly that. If they don't she lest them know either verbally or with her dreaded stare. All of it must work because she has won the NCAA National Championship eight times, and its hard to imagine a National Championship without Tennessee being somewhere close.
Communication in a team can influence everything from the interactions of team members to the outcomes of team goals(Christine Switzer). Mean that as long as everyone is on the same page and talking about what they expect from the team they should achieve their goals. With no communication the team maybe literally running into each other not knowing where people will be on the court or field.
