| 1) A fundamental stage | ||
| There's no pressure from an opponent Players should move from slow speed to top speed Players don't need to use full power Players should concentrate on form and execution |
||
| 2) Match related stage (there are usually 2 of these) | ||
| Introduce pressure from an opponent - start with the opponent as a shadow,
then incrementally increase pressure to finally having full pressure. Pressure can also come from time and size of playing area. |
