9. Introduction for decision making answer Question: When performing your role within the SSC, discuss some of the decisions you had to make during performance to ensure you carried out your role effectively. (6) Introduction For the ball to be moved up the court quickly and a scoring opportunity created each player in my team has to be able to make fast instinctive decisions as various performance demands arise. Quick decision making, particularly around the key, speeds up our attack and limits the number of defenders who can get into position. Incisive decision making on what FB option to play also means that those defenders who have recovered will find it extremely difficult to predict what is going to happen. By making quick decisions we can reduce our opponent thinking time, limiting the chances of them taking up a good defensive position and intercepting the ball.
