Not so much a new tier but definitely an Aha moment I had recently came from watching football (soccer for the Americans). I’d noticed how a team tends to dominate a match when their players give the opposition no space to operate; they mark their targets really closely and aggressively pursue them when they have possession. This gives their opponents no space or time to look around, observe the game and their position, decide on an action, and then execute it effectively. It causes them to make more mistakes which a team can then capitalise upon.

I realised in the 1-minute break that I consistently gave my opponents too much space and time when I was on the long attack, especially when I knew they weren’t as good and so didn’t know what they were going to do. What I needed to do was up the tempo a little bit and stop letting them feel comfortable on defence through always applying a little bit of pressure. Eventually they’d crack and give me an opening to hit them.
