  • 41 - #19 Vocal Health for Sport Coaches

    Russell Hoye talks to Katie Buckley, (lecturer and phd candidate at La Trobe University and a vocal health consultant) about voice and vocal health for coaches.

    Voice is critical across much of sports coaching. From yelling to athletes on a training arena, to talking in board meetings, coaches use their voices. Given coaches rely so heavily on effective vocal communication, healthy voice is essential. However, if voice is not performing at its best, a coach may not be either.
