Athens sought to avoid land battles with Sparta since Sparta was the strongest land power - to thwart Spartan power on land Athens relied on it's naval assets which were more powerful since Sparta had a limited navy . This did not hold true in the latter stages of the Peloponnesian War where Sparta had developed a stronger navy than the Athenians .
Sparta had the stronger army, renowned for its highly trained and disciplined military forces, particularly the Spartan hoplites. Their rigorous training and focus on warfare made them formidable in battle, especially in land conflicts. Athens, while possessing a powerful navy and advanced tactics, relied more on its maritime strength and was not as militarily dominant on land as Sparta. Thus, in terms of ground forces, Sparta was the preeminent military power in ancient Greece.

Yes, it is true that Sparta, when faced with the need for more land, sent its citizens to establish colonies. This practice was part of their strategy to expand their territory and resources, particularly during times of population growth or military pressure. Unlike other Greek city-states, Sparta was more focused on maintaining its military strength and societal structure, often establishing colonies primarily for agricultural purposes to support their economy.
