Seconds count when it comes to international
sports!
But to be fair, if you take players from my era to now, the game has
changed and the players have many more shots. They use them differently than we
did.
The speed of the game has changed.

Speed is the cutting edge for succeeding globally.
In car racing, a car may meet with some problem
like a flat tyre. Depending on the type of racing, the size of the pit crew
will differ. In Formula One Series, 19 trained mechanics will make the
pit crew working as a team with perfect delegation of responsibilities.
Each tyre will be attended by three mechanics – one
to use the pneumatic wrench to remove the wheel's lug; one to take off the used
tyre; and the third to reinstall the new tyre. Two mechanics will be
lifting the car, one in the front and the other at the rear. One mechanic will
function as the starter man and another as the fuel man. While these mechanics
are allotted specific and precise jobs, a `lollipop man' will be guiding the
driver to slow down, to brake, to stop etc. The balance mechanics will be
deployed with very specific responsibilities to save every millisecond of the
tyre changing and the refueling process!
You've heard the proverb `too many cooks spoil the
broth'? Not when they are trained well as to what and how to do their jobs!
