PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS
OPPOSITION
Definition
The Opposition / Opponent are any team or individual that you come up against when performing. They can be direct opposition (Football, Rugby) or indirect opposition (Swimming, Trampolining).
Impact on Performance
Being able to exploit / take advantage of your opponents weaknesses may have a positive impact on your performance. For example, if you know that your opponent in Badminton has a poor Overhead Clear then you would select to play Overhead Clears in order to keep your opponent at the back of the court. This should allow you to play an effective attacking Drop Shot or Smash in response to your opponents shot. Equally, it is important to minimise your opponent’s strengths. For example, if your opponent was effective at playing forehand shots in table tennis you would aim to the play the ball to their backhand side.
