Watch football build-up through passing angles, support and third-player connections. Assess progression together with the protection available if the ball is lost.
Understand rest defence by watching the players behind a football attack, their support distances and the counter-attacking routes available after a turnover.
Read an NBA pick-and-roll from the screen into the next action: follow the screener, watch weak-side help and judge the passing window before the shot result.
