Marking as a Defender

Marking as a defender:

-Keep your body open to allow you to still see the whole picture so you can see of any players making moves off the ball.

-Keep your body an arms distance away from the ball and the defender to make sure you are not too close to allow the attacker to spin you and be in on goal or to get away from you. -Make sure your on your toes to allow you to make quick decisions and if he able to get past you, you are more likely to get back as you are always ready for what happens.

-Make sure you bend your knee to allow you to stay balanced to make sure you don't fall over.

-Keep your eyes on the ball and players feet.

-Bend your knees slightly to make sure you have stability and have good balance so you don't fall over.
