[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD was playing up top for a while and as she got older they started playing her back more - not unusual. They actually swapped a few of our defenders and forwards and its actually been beneficial for the team. [/quote] That's table stakes for any top level soccer player, whether U11 or pro. I think natural defender is all about vision, timing, understanding of space (and not where the next pass goes but where the passes and players after the next pass could go in relation to where your teammates are and will likely go) and great anticipation beyond the on-ball capability. It's creativity combined with ultra paranoia. Defense is about heart, speed and toughness but so is every other position in soccer. [/quote] Sorry. Meant to reply to earlier post about somebody not giving up easily and trying to get ball back after losing. No offense to your DD![/quote]
