by Jeff Boals

Description

Defense, defense, defense. Arguably the most important aspect of the game. We always hear, switch!, rotate, fall back, mine, zone zone , etc. Whatever goals and achievements organizations aspire to obtain, it's quite impossible to do so without team defense. Great defenses recognize their opponent’s offensive tendencies while in the flow of the game. They play with their voices, eyes and feet. A team that plays like such has the ability to discourage the opposing team's offense. Shutting everything down can truly be crippling.
