11. TACTICS For example: In basketball you may decide to play zone defence because the opposition have inaccurate 3 point shots. By playing zone defence you are forcing them to shoot from outside the key. In softball/baseball you would put your team’s best catchers at the bases to ensure the ball would always be caught at crucial moments of the game. In cycling an opponent may tuck in behind the leader in order to reduce the wind resistance acting upon him (slip-streaming). This would mean he would need to apply such physical effort and therefore be less tired.
