In sports coaching, the coach often try linguistic instruction by collective secret language "jargons" used in the field. It is expected that the players can understand the meaning in jargons as interface and share a common concept through communication from the coach to the players. This research aims to explore establishment process of meaning in jargons about sprint from the perspective of the cognitive field. As a method, we analyzed the verbalization reports in which jargons about sprint from the players of the 42nd Japan national high school rugby team as its analytical resource by SCAT. These results suggest that jargons associated on firstly bodily sensation, and later associated with their behaviors about rugby．Meanwhile，it is also shown that such association have a correlation with the difficulty level of the motions of jargons．As a result of this consideration, the mechanism of symbolic communication was clarified, and furthermore, to design guidelines for linguistic instruction were obtained, for example, an effective coaching by jargons about motions easy to feel bodily sensation.
