johnowls you have no idea what you're talking about. if you just mark up, the attackers will play the ball behind you and 9 times out of 10 the attacker will get to the ball before you. Also, if you mark up and don't cover your first defender, what happens if he/she gets dribbled? The attacker is through on goal...good job! You just left your keeper in a 1v1 situation while you where "marking up" the supporting player. Good tips coach nice vid!

@johnowls They do that so that if one defender gets out dribbled, the supporting on can swoop in and make a tackle
-
good reminder coach to be honest if not anything this reminded me of a defensive drop off i have recently forgotten to go over thx
-
@johnowls - If the defenders don't back off, they'll give up the give and go all day long.

@johnowls what they're doing is pressuring the PASS. if u mark the person and get close, the person with the ball can pass it behind u and the person u where marking can beat u easily to the ball. if u do what they're doing in the video; they pass, u can easily get in the way of the ball and take it. simple.
Haha
Dont back off mark up and get between so cant make the pass.
Doing it like this you will be back and forth all day.

@TheHibeeboy The Coach was painting the picture without winning the ball. At 1:09 the yellow team was not allowed to win the ball, later they were. It was a good session. Thanks alot Coach.
