As well as analysing strengths and weaknesses of individual players, it is also important to analyse collective strengths and weaknesses of teams. Soccer teams need to play cohesively when defending, with players working in coordinated fashion to maintain appropriate width and depth of defence (Bangsbo and Peitersen, 2002). Prestigiacomo (2003) included group harmony and unity of intent as collective strengths of a team, while identifying selfishness by individuals as a weakness for the team. In field hockey, strengths and weaknesses of the defensive unit should be considered when selecting tactics to defend against penalty corners (Mitchell-Taverner, 2005).
