Span (sports)

In sports, a "span" generally refers to the duration or extent of a particular action, achievement, or period within a game or athlete's career. For example, the span of a winning streak indicates how many consecutive games or matches a team or player has won. It can also describe the time frame over which specific skills, records, or performances are observed or maintained. Understanding spans helps assess consistency, endurance, or the significance of achievements within the sport.
