In the first paragraph when it talks about sport communication, I would like to expand on organizational communication on how how we can improve on the effectiveness of organization communication and why its so important to sports communication. Through organizational communication it is important that coaches are motivating employees, encouraging the involvement from workers, self motivation, being good at problem solving, having a direct interpersonal style and being a good listener. By doing this, this leads to a better overall sport communication. Next I would like to add about how photojournalism is such a key part in Sport communication and how the photograph is used to project a feeling for a viewer to control and give an emotion. This focuses on the challenges photojournalists face in this industry. It describes the struggle they face with selective access to sporting because of commercial licensing and image rights. What this article fails to talk about is how social media is such a big part of sport communication. The way fans interact with teams on social media is a key part. Many forms of media devote thousands of channels, platforms, and publications to the team in and out of the sport. Another part the article doesn't mention is how movies are included in this. Movies can portray a way of how they view others and how sport communication is. "Beginning in the 1960's and arguably shown the way by British Film makers, the American sports movie became a burgeoning genre... but for a proliferation of innovative and sensitive sporting scenarios. Music also plays a part in this. Music has always been used to express a specific emotion. People in the sport communication business do this to give fans and players a certain emotion. "Through promoting the satisfaction of these psychological aims music contributes substantially to adolescent development and mental health."

Lead

Sports communication is an aspect of communication studies that specializes in the study of communication in a sports setting. It encompasses the study of interpersonal and organizational communication (both verbal and non-verbal) between participants within a sport (e.g. players, coaches, managers, referees, and trainers), fans, and the media; and the way that sports are represented and communicated in the media. Sports communication is not restricted to professionals only, it is something that happens at different levels of play, ranging from preschool to college level. Communication happens constantly in sport, and works best with people that are willing to work well as a team and is vital for the success of a program. Studies have found that communication in sport can be both positive and negative due to evidence supporting a connection between communication and cohesion.   

Organizational Communication

Organizational Communication in Sport includes intra- and interorganizational communication. Through organizational communication it is looked at an importance for coaches to motivate employees, encourage the involvement from workers, have self motivation, be good at problem solving, having a direct interpersonal style and being a good listener.

Interpersonal Communication

Interpersonal communication in sport involves intrapersonal, interpersonal, and small-group communication. One type of interpersonal communication that happens in sport is between players and coaches. The way a coach communicates with their players can have an impact on the performance level of the player. Players are able to pick up on cues from their coaches when they are stressed, which can negatively affect the players performance and development.

Careers

Photo Journalism

The various occupations that make up the field of sport communication typically involve some aspect of covering, delivering, publicizing, financing, or even shaping sport. Photos are also a big job in the field of sports communication. Photos of athletes are becoming more and more common in the sports communication area. People that love sports like having the picture either on their wall or on the background or even just having them. Photographers will also get live action shots to make people get the real action of the game. Professionals in sport communication craft and send messages in various ways, and they may alter their modes of communication depending on the nature of their position as well as audience needs and desires. Photography is used to project a feeling for a viewer to control and give an emotion. This focuses on the challenges photojournalists face in this industry. It describes the struggle they face with selective access to sporting because of commercial licensing and image rights. Although positions in sport communication vary in both nature (e.g., management, publicity, writing) and scope (e.g., traditional print, television, radio, online), the various career paths in the field all hinge on the ability to communicate with key audiences. These audiences also vary, depending on the type of sport entity in question, but they generally consist of whatever constituencies are deemed most valuable to the organization. Key audiences may include fans, members of the public, politicians, owners and investors, athletes, and even members of the media.

Social Media

 Sports marketers help communicate information about a sports event or help market products through different types of promotion. One promotion is social media. People post on social media about games, new players, new coaches and a ton other things related to their team. Many forms of media devote thousands of channels, platforms, and publications to the team in and out of the sport. Education careers in usage of communication can be found in sports administrative degrees and the professors of those degrees. Sports communication can be considered linguistic but other types of communicating, such as body movement and other mannerisms can be formally taught through professors or educators. Administrative communication in the sports area can be considered vital in the success of programs and the progress of the student. Sports administration can often lead into the roles of other professions such as broadcasting and marketing.

Career Topics

Other fields of sport communication that are easily forgotten or not noticed, are fields in entertainment. Careers in the entertainment industry include the following careers such as video games, movies, music, and nontraditional aspects in the field. Video games plays a role by the way it promotes interaction amongst fans, presence, disposition, skills, and outcome. The way they use music in sports communication is to use music for interaction, to inform their identity, and the message it shares to others. This can create a change of mood or feeling by a song played at the right time. This is shown by the way bands play fight songs and certain times throughout the game.

In fact, some of the best opportunities in sport communication involve behind-the-scenes occupations, many of which exist in the production and operations sides of the industry. Examples include equipment technician, audio engineer, sport videographer, graphic designer, and technical writer. Some sport arena and stadium jobs can be electronic technician, master control operator, public address announcer, and video engineer.
