Read the scenario.During a basketball game, the team's star player, Mei Ling, has been missing several shots. The coach has noticed that she is becoming increasingly frustrated and is not communicating with the rest of the team during timeouts. The coach wants to help her regain composure and reconnect with the team in order to improve their overall performance.What communication strategy should the coach use to help Mei Ling?
Answer
A
The coach could briefly switch Mei Ling's position with another player.
B
The coach could pull Mei Ling aside for a private conversation, offering encouragement.
C
The coach could call for a team huddle and have Mei Ling discuss what is bothering her.
D
The coach could have Mei Ling sit out the rest of the game to observe and learn from other players.
Explanation
A private conversation gives the coach a chance to encourage Mei Ling and help her regain composure without putting her frustration on display. It also lets the coach reconnect with her personally, which can make it easier for her to communicate with the team. Having her discuss the issue in a team huddle could embarrass her, while switching positions or sitting her out does not directly address how she is feeling.
