"This kind of clear communication takes time to develop as the coach and athlete become better acquainted, but from the beginning, effort should be made continually to establish and improve the kind of rapport necessary to support the athlete´s technical progress."

The primary concern in this case is the ability of the coach and athlete to effectively communicate with each other - no amount of accurate technique analysis by the coach will have any effect if the athlete doesn't understand the coach´s feedback. Similarly, the athlete must be able to relay to the coach his or her experience with each lift.
