Twitter Coach

I came across this piece from Verne Gambetta's blog on how John Wooden was using the twitter concept before twitter was even possible.

In a well run swim practice, you don't get to talk to every athlete at the same time very often.  You are communicating in 10-45 second intervals and repeating yourself often.  Think about the Que words you are using to get the message across.

I also like the statistics on what Coach Wooden was communicating, only 6% was praise, another 6% was discipline, while 75% was information.  How much information is going into your workouts and to your athletes?
