TAKE ADVANTAGE OF TIMEOUTS
In basic play , each team can take two 60-second timeouts per game . Unfortunately , many teams , especially those new to tournament play , work really hard-only to lose . And they never take advantage of this important element of the game . Don ’ t forget that you have timeouts and you can use them strategically as needed .
CATCH YOUR BREATH The first reason to take a timeout seems totally obvious , but many people actually don ’ t do it . If you ’ re physically exhausted , call a timeout to rest . Catch your breath , grab some more water , breathe . Sometimes winning or losing may not be about skill , but endurance , and taking a moment to refresh yourself may help you just enough to get back in the game and win .
