One of the challenges facing a manager at this level is studying the strengths and weaknesses of players they know little about.

But the individual strengths of players can make a difference at key moments in a match.

Russo was also a pioneer in advance scouting, analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of opposing players.

Sonas, like Elo, claims that it is impossible to compare the strength of players from different eras, saying:

Earlier in training camp, Thomas sounded as if he were nearly in awe of the strength and speed of other players.

Many advanced teams develop variations on the basic offenses to take advantage of the strengths of specific players.

The strengths of leading players were negated.

The strengths of players as well as weaknesses/areas of improvement are needed to combat the onslaught in a marketing warfare.

Such a system could be used to judge the comparative strength of players and provide a fairer basis upon which 'master titles' would be awarded.

At the time, he seemed stubborn, even obnoxious, and headed for a costly lesson in the importance of adjusting to the strengths of players.
