I must admit when I first heard about Twitter I thought it was frivolous. My thought was how dumb, what could you possibly say in 162 characters? Now I get it. Get to the point, be precise and concise and get the message across. The same holds true for coaching. Start your workout with a brief clear message that clearly outlines the theme and the objectives of the workout. During 
the workout make you instructions and corrections short; phrases are better than sentences and sentences preferable to paragraphs. Use action words that elicit the action you want to see. Coaching is teaching and teaching is communication. Get to the point. Remember it is not what you say it what the athletes hears so make the message clear. Be like John Wodden. (There are only 262 words in the Gettysburg address!)
