this video is so unrealistic...if you ever swing your stick like that when your opponent is dribbling towards you, you will get an immediate call for hacking. if you want to learn field hockey dont come and watch youtube....

rubbish training.. the main thing with defence is to let the attacker make the mistake,

umm im a defensive player too and if we ever swung our stick like that in the game (and maybe it's just the refs) we get called 99% of the time for hacking if we hit their stick or not. and if this video is for beginners, they should probs start with the basic block tackling and jab when the ball is NOT on the attackers stick.

@davedmu8

totally true but you can do that with jabbing and running backwards.

and when he lift his stick for a shot take the ball out:D
