Building and maintaining a real team, meaning a united and perfectly harmonized collective, as the interests and activities are concerned, is one of the basic problems of a coach, whose activity is situated at the same level of importance as the training lesson and the competition, which are major concerns for every tactician. The main objective of this research is a study regarding the verbal and nonverbal communication between coaches and athletes, as one of the main factors for attaining the proposed results. Starting from the unanimously known fact that the communication is a process through which two entities (E - emitter and R - receiver) exchange formal messages in a common code by using one or more transmission channels, the information flux functioning, at the same time in both ways, each of the participants playing alternatively the role of emitter and receiver, I have verified through this study the quality between the emitter (coach) and receiver (athlete) during the trampoline training process. We must mention the fact that, unlike other sports branches in which the coach and the athlete can communicate in a direct manner, from a small distance, when the ski jumps are concerned, the athlete is permanently situated at a great distance from the coach, being on the trampoline, in flight or on the climbing mechanism, whereas the coach is obligated to verbally communicate with the athlete through a walkie-talkie or a previously common established gesture code (nonverbal communication).This type of coach-athlete communication, specific to ski-jumping, can be very dangerous during the training process, if certain conditions are not respected, the greatest risk being that the information transmitted by the coach to be distorted, or even wrongly received by the athlete, this having negative consequences on the training process. By using the specific instrument of the inquiry method -- the formal interview, I have succeeded during this research to discover the main inconvenient processes of this type of verbal and nonverbal communication, and together with the coaches and the athletes, to elaborate a set of compulsory conditions in order to cancel these processes.
