Pour l’équipe ou le joueur qui traîne de l’arrière dans les points, adopter un style de jeu plus ouvert qui permet de compter afin de graduellement réduire l’écart dans les points, voire même, en venir à égalité puis à un renversement de situation; pour un athlète qui traîne de l’arrière dans une épreuve, obtenir plus de points ou un meilleur classement en se concentrant davantage et faisant abstraction de la foule pour s’exécuter aussi bien ou mieux qu’il ne le fait à l’entraînement. 2, record 4, French, - faire%20du%20jeu%20de%20rattrapage

Dans tous les sports de raquette et les sports d’équipe avec points marqués ou accumulés, il est possible de faire du jeu de rattrapage. Dans les sports individuels, c'est davantage l'attitude de l'athlète qui lui permettra de réduire l'avance du meneur ou le fera remonter dans les points; ainsi en est-il en cyclisme et dans les épreuves d’athlétisme sur piste où il est possible de réduire l'écart dans la distance séparant un athlète du meneur, et, dans des sports jugés comme le patinage artistique, la gymnastique ou le plongeon, où c'est l'écart dans les points qu'il est possible de réduire avec une meilleure exécution des figures, routines ou plongeons en fin d’épreuve. 2, record 4, French, - faire%20du%20jeu%20de%20rattrapage
