• Making the correct decision when passing cuts down the chance of your team
losing possession of the ball.
• How does decision making impact on the speed of your teams attack?
• Making the correct decision quickly when attacking helps your team to attack
with speed. This reduces the chance of the opposition getting back to set up
their defence.
• How does your ability to make quick decisions impact on your opposition?
• Quick decision making reduces the oppositions thinking time, limiting the
chances of them taking up a good defensive position and intercepting the ball.
