Description
Defending is about much more than winning tackles.
It’s about understanding the game, knowing how to position yourself, using your body effectively and making the right decisions under pressure. 🧠
Because whether you're facing a tricky winger, defending against two attackers at once or trying to catch the eye of a scout, the little details can make all the difference.
Which is why we've put together this video, bringing together former professional players, Premier League academy coaches and a national scout from Train Effective camps.
