Structure
 Introduction
 What were the weaknesses
 Impact on Performance
 Adaptations made
 Impact of adaptations
 Explain how increasing width created space and allowed variation
 Explain how the variations allowed you to score from each lane
 Explain how creating space and using variation put more pressure on defence

Explain how the above steps helped you to work at speed
More space = less pressure on skill level
More space = increase in speed
More space = less pressure on decision making
