We often put a lot of focus on our decisions when we're on the ball, but what about how we react to turnovers and umpiring decisions?

The ball will get turned over several times throughout the game and the players that react fastest to the current situation will have an advantage.

This includes umpiring decisions, whether you agree with them or not.

As players we all make mistakes and umpires will too, they will blow what they see which may differ from our interpretation of a situation.

How quickly do you react to turnovers and umpiring decisions?

At the end of the day, the umpire's whistle holds the power and the quicker we react the better we'll be setup for the next play.
