[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd add that defenders need mental as well as physical toughness. I've seen too many defenders get burned on a goal and let that affect them for the rest of the game, causing dumb mistakes. Defenders, like goalies., need to be able to take a goal and pretend it never happened.[/quote] The realization that that player/ball went through 8-9 other players first certainly helps. It’s a thankless job. The forwards can make mistake after mistake and play shitty 99% of the game - but get a goal and all is forgotten. A defender can play outstanding 99% of the game and people will remember the one mistake and blame them for losing. I see it all of the time. Sideline parents always blaming the defense—-when their kid can’t finish for the life of them.[/quote]
