Soccer Defending: A Step-by-Step Guide on How to Stop the Other Team

Understand Soccer, Book 5

By: Dylan Joseph

Narrated by: Dylan Joseph

A player who could hardly defend. A bleak soccer future as a bench-warmer. An athlete who lacked confidence in their game.

Are you or a loved one enjoying soccer, but can’t stand not being confident on how to defend?

Do you or a child have a problem stopping the team from shooting?

Are you a parent or player that would love to stop the dribble of each opponent, but struggle even stopping the foot skills of one player?

If any of these situations describe you, you are not alone. Coaches of soccer are good at having the team work together. Sadly, your abilities as an individual are often lost in the team’s tactics unless you are the star player on the team. The coach lets the best player do as they please but every other player must do their job, even though the coach may not always teach exactly how to do that job.

This is great when you are the favorite player, but more often than not you are just existing on the field, and not really contributing to your team in the way you want to.

Outcomes of applying the facts in this audiobook:

• Understand how to stop an attacker every time (plus a few mindsets to avoid).
• Learn the proper body positioning and placement in relation to the defender.
• Remove the toxic habits you need to break.

Why does learning these things matter?

Well, building your knowledge grows your confidence. Self-esteem is key for any soccer player, and building the belief in yourself and your child will allow them to play to the level you know they can play.

You may think those are all well and great, but how can a book really deliver on increasing the abilities of yourself, your son, your daughter, or your team? Why not just watch a YouTube video to see it too?

Excitingly, this audiobook lays out step-by-step what you should work on and the most important keys to being able to perform on the field. Yes, other authors will give tips for various situations but never really say which things to know are the most important and will make the biggest difference in your game. This audiobook does exactly that.

Also, though YouTube can be used to complement a book because videos show visual representations of the skills covered, each video is often unorganized and the order in which you watch the videos is not structured at all. This audiobook provides that structure to ensure that you are not just getting a little information in one spot and some knowledge in another without being able to understand the entire picture of how it all works together.

It is time for hours of Soccer Defending to finally pay off. Become the player, coach, or parent that changes every game from here on out.

Please Note: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

this will make your team defense good

I am having difficulties before in defending, having the same problem as Dylan mentioned. I never thought about the tactics he mentioned in 1v1 situation where he pushed the attacker to his weak foot is useful. There are still lots of lessons I've learned from this book. You must also give this book a try.

Great Soccer Resource

Defending is one of the most important parts of soccer. This book is a great resource for any soccer player or coach. It will teach you the fundamentals about defending and how to use this part of the game in a strategic way. What stands out in this book is that it teaches you a defensive mindset that is very important for developing soccer players.

I Didn't Realize Defensive Positioning Until Now!

This book was awesome about how to position my body/how to stand, where to push defenders on the field, how to make life harder for a forward, and some great tips I've never thought of as a defender! This was an awesone book!
