Communication between teammates is an essential part in the team's success. Whenever there is a lack of communication on any sports team it shows in their performance. Usually a lack of communication is due to some of the players not getting along and overall it hurts the entire team.
According to Allaboutfastpitch.com communication reduces individual errors on the field "It's hard to make a mistake when u are constantly encouraging and supporting your teammates. Less worry means less anxiety. Less anxiety means your body can relax and perform at an optimal level." Also, effective communication means less mental errors "Increased communication helps players stay focused on the game. More focus means less mental errors. Plus with communication, if someone does have a mental lapse, everyone is talking and letting them know where the play should be which helps keep a mental lapse from turning into a mental error or any other kind of error." And finally communication promotes team building "When teammates are communicating with each other it increases the sense of a common goal and teamwork. Your team will perform better as individuals and as a unit with improved communication."
Without communication among teammates we would not have as many great athletes as we have today. For example, look at Tiger Woods, many people think golf is a one person sport but without the communication between Tiger and his caddie I guarentee you that he would not be as successful as he is today. Tiger's caddie knows every inch of every green and fairway in any tournament Tiger plays in. Without his caddie's knowledge of the course and all the elements involved with making a golf shot, Tiger's accomplishments would be half to two thirds of what he has today. All in all, communication between teammates is always key in the success of any team.

I agree that team communication is very important in every sport. When players have a lack of communication it shows in their performance. It is important to know when, where, what, how the players will react when they are active in the sport. As a tennis player, I play a lot of doubles. My doubles partner and I have very good communication. I know exactly where she will be when I hit my shots and I know exactly what shots she can or cannot take. We talk a lot during the match to figure out how to beat our opponents. Communication is key in tennis and in all sports. If we were to just play and not talk about our shots, then I guarantee that we would not win many matches. Overall, communication is the key to success.
