Tips and tricks

Use the whole field, court or track. Players who hug one side become predictable.
Watch the opponent, not your player. Their movement tells you where the ball or the gap is going to be.
Small, steady inputs. Over-steering, over-swinging and over-jumping are the most common mistakes in every sports game.
Defend first when you are ahead, attack first when you are behind. It sounds obvious, and yet.
