We also have a white board during time outs and half time and try to stay as much connected as possible. Good communication is essential for the success of the Monterey Trail High School Girls Basketball team. According to coach David Whitsett, the team communicates with each other on the court by having a drill where one player is blindfolded and another player must verbalize where the ball is. This is an important way to learn how to process and understand cues for successful play. Additionally, during timeouts and halftime, the team reviews their strategies using a white board so they can stay connected and on the same page. Coach Whitsett believes this strong focus on communication helps his team stay ahead and be successful. Without proper communication, the team wouldn’t be able to achieve their goals. The Monterey Trail High School Girls Basketball team knows that the key to success is communication.
