TEAM STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES

 

Definition

Team Strengths and Weaknesses should be considered before choosing a tactic within an activity. It is important to consider your opponent’s strengths and weaknesses as well as your own strengths and weaknesses. 

 

Impact on Performance

It is important to select a strategy that maximises your team strengths, minimises your team weaknesses, minimises your opponent’s strengths and exploits your opponent’s weaknesses. For example, the fast break is an attacking strategy that your team could your team had quick players who could cope with performing skills at a fast pace and were poor at breaking down defences. This would also be a good strategy against a team who had a strong zone defence but were slow to get back in their own half.
