In football defending teams want to have a compact shape to defend the dangerous areas in front of the goal. Attacking teams want to play wide, to strech the defence. A convex hull diagram can be used to visualize this team shape. Using the stretch factor as indicator of the compactness helps to measure the time, how a long team needs to get the correct shape during a transition phase.
