Technology can make it hard for coaches and athletes to connect. Sometimes, it gets in the way of talking in person. This can cause misunderstandings and make it tough to feel close to each other.

Athletes might feel alone or like they are being watched too closely because of performance data.

Challenges:

• Relying too much on texting or email can mean less talking face-to-face.
• People might misunderstand messages or numbers, which can cause confusion.

Solutions:

• Have regular in-person meetings to chat and connect.
• Find a good balance between using technology and enjoying personal interactions.
