The Importance of Game Speed

Game speed is really going to come down to the manipulation of space, so if we're looking at soccer. Can I get away from a defender on the defensive side of the ball, can I close space can I keep up with the offense? So essentially you can really ask those questions as performance indicators for athletes and it's one of these situations where one contributes to the other. The four basic transitional movements of game speed are back pedal lateral shuffle crossover and drop step or rotational step.
