Soccer - Individual Defending

Rating:
Summary: excellent
Review: This is a great, great DVD. Like the title suggests, this disk is all about individual defending techniques. TEAM PLAY, MARKING, AND ZONE PLAY IS NOT, I REPEAT, IS NOT COVERED. It was shot during an individual defending practice of an English youth league club. The young players shown on this disk are very very advanced, playing at almost pro levels. All the moves are shown many times, often in slow motion, with the commentary telling you what to look out for. This disk focuses a great deal on movement, body position, 'the scoop tackle' is explained, defensive heading is explained, and there are many, many tackles shown to give you an idea of how physical and aggressive you need to be in order to play good defence. I understand that many instructional soccer videos suffer from bad production, but this is not one of them. The production is crisp and clear, could ask for better. Get the DVD version of this as you can slow it down and play it frame by frame if you have any questions.
