Study Proves Importance of Communication

In a Florida State University study, winning doubles tennis teams talked strategy twice as much as losing teams did.

The study also found that winning teammates vocally encouraged each other nearly three times as more often than losing teams did.

“Emotional exchanges helps teams feel more capable” explains study coauthor Gershon Tenebaum, PhD

In other words the more a team talks to each other with purpose, enthusiasm and encouragement the greater the chance of success.
