Explosive speed and agility are huge game breaking performance skills that must be specifically trained. Speed and agility will determine the attacker’s ability to evade or beat the defender to find space. Conversely the defenders ability to react with speed and agility will determine how effective they are in closing down attacking space.

In an individual court sport the level of success may be primarily determined by your ability to get the ball quickly and with balance.
