Thank you mate and delighted to hear it has helped you in some way. Keep pushing on 👊

Thanks for this mate! Honestly, the beauty is football is open to interpretation no coach would ever advocate what they say is exactly how everything should be done. Trust me I am learning new viewpoints everyday, including yours. All people need to really take from this video IMO is the 3 P's - Pressure, positioning, patience. Easy to remember and prevents inexperienced players from rushing in (which is the main thing players do wrong in 1v1 defending). Aside from that the small details you mention are exactly that - small details. Of course we want to show the player onto their weaker foot but kids watching this may well want to worry about the fundamentals firstly. Touch tight...this is an interesting one. You see it a lot in American sports like basketball etc but I'll be honest bud in England coaches are not really telling the defender to be worrying about this (touching the player in front of you). We say touch tight sure to give a good gauge of how far away you should be - 'about a yard' like I say. Ultimately, if a player is flat footed and slow they will not be a good 1v1 defender anyway. I'd also completely disagree with crouching too low. When we use terms like 'surf-board' this is literally to help novices understand to be sideways on. If i tell a kid to be sideways on he/she may be like 'yeh but sideways to what?'. But saying surfboard they understand ok he means facing forwards but being side ways to facing this way - this is coaching bud. RE crouching deeper and really low this is a no no for me. If you are too low personally I think it is actually harder to react from down there rather than in between a deep squat and being upright. Again my friend your time to write this and produce conversation is truly appreciated.

Thanks Niklas, glad that it helps!

Best of luck David, you will smash it. The beauty of football is you can really improve every day.

Excellent bro. This is definitely the main takeaway from the video - don't rush in! You are a good student of the game 👍

@@WantTheBall yes bro waiting

@@WantTheBall bro , what are the updates?

It’s best to not just look at the ball, you should also look at their eyes to try to read where they’re going, you could tell if they’ll fake by body language.

@@simonriley1981 how do you know if its a fake?

Please explain this one again?

For me you would only rush in if you can see the player has taken a heavy touch and the ball is there to be won. Otherwise you need to time what you are doing in the press. Often we can force mistakes and slow the attack down just by getting in and then slowing to a couple of feet from the player with ball. The second you over engage the ball carrier will know to just push it past you 👍

I think what your coach means by rushing in is to get a body on them not stab and miss
