1v1 Defending: Jockeying and Containing an Attacker
Discipline 6: Technical Fundamentals — Lesson 10 of 12
Lecturer: Callan Bruce
A delayed defender buys time for cover to arrive. This session covers staying on the balls of your feet and delaying rather than diving in, steering an attacker onto their weaker foot, and committing only once cover has arrived.
The three rules
1. Delay, don't dive in.
2. Show them onto their weaker foot.
3. Commit only once cover arrives.
