This factor refers to your ability to change direction and falls under the fitness category.

The quicker and more controlled you are when changing direction, the better your agility. Agility is needed for a range of different sporting situations such as:

• when trying to lose your opponent to get into space for a corner in football
• when at the net in tennis and your opponent attempts to lob you
• when you are moving one way as a goalkeeper in handball and the line player shoots in the opposite corner

Consider goalkeeping in handball. Agility is a common theme in invasion sports, where there is a goalkeeper involved. Numerous outfield players will aim their shots in the opposite direction to where the goalkeeper is moving and play it back across them.

Goalkeepers with excellent agility levels can quickly change direction and dive to reach the shot before it goes in.
