[quote=Anonymous]At that age, it’s a coaching issue. If the coach is not putting her in a position to develop defensive instincts, such as moving her to winger, which requires her to play both, or telling her to track back and defend, it’s up to her to develop defensive instincts. She won’t do this if she is not predisposed to being competitive. I’ve had friends do private coaching where the coach frames the need for defensive skills as a foundation for striker mentality and development. If no funds for coaches, have her do lots of 1 v 1 or small sided games and training with siblings and friends to develop defensive instincts. [/quote]
