Each exercise includes an animated tactical diagram (step-by-step movement sequence), coaching points, observation cues and objective success criteria. Works the fundamentals of individual defending: approach posture and containment, safe distance, tackle timing, reading the attacker's strong foot and steering their run toward lower-danger zones, from unopposed up to full contain-tackle-transition simulations under fatigue and numerical disadvantage. Ideal for coaches who want to save planning hours and have ready, tested sessions on defensive duels, without designing exercises from scratch.
