Long description
For too long, defending practice has been presented by coaches and received by players as a necessay evil, filled with unimaginative drills that provide players with little or no reward for getting it right. This book contains 100 exercises and small-sided games designed to inspire players to become better defenders both tactically and technically in a fun and competitive training environment. The games are set up to re-create the unpredictability of actual match play, with no long queues or endless repetitions. Because of this, players are more involved in the practice and are thus learning how to play the game and developing the skills to deal with the ever-changing situations on the pitch.
