It can include mistakes such as mishandling the ball, incorrectly positioning oneself, choosing an inappropriate play, or making a poor decision that affects the overall performance or outcome of the game.
Overall, mismove signifies an erroneous action or decision made during gameplay, which can hinder one's chances of success, compromise their performance, or negatively impact the outcome of a game or sport.
