#30-#31 – DEFENDING & TACKLING
++++++++++
The
best thing a developing soccer player can do is develop dominant ball skills
needed to master the 1v1 (one verses one) game.
This
means getting thousands of touches on the ball to develop deep comfort and
control with all parts of the body and feet.
This also means mastering specific skills to keep the ball away from an
opponent, move the ball around an opponent, and take the ball away from an
opponent. As a player grows up,
dominant ball skills provide the best foundation for developing dominant
passing skills.
Younger
players can work through each move and skip those which are too difficult. Older players can work through each move and
spend time mastering those which are weak or missing from their game.
Moves #30 -
#31 – Defending & Tackling
A
fast and skilled opponent is dribbling right at you with the ball at their foot
– what do you do? No need to panic. Just take an Angled Approach and use your
body to separate them from the ball.
Angled
Approach and Separation – this is the key to dominating the 1v1 defensive
game.
Two
techniques – it’s that simple.
If
you can master Angled Approach & Separation you can take the ball away from
even an athletic and/or skilled offensive opponent.
The
crazy thing is that while these two techniques are so effective they are often
not taught. Many soccer clubs either
neglect teaching defense and tackling altogether, or they teach outdated and
less effective techniques.
One
commonly taught tackle I would especially avoid is the Block Tackle. A skilled offensive player will beat you
almost every time if you stab at the ball with your foot, even if you use
proper technique.
Win
the 1v1 soccer battle not just offensively, but defensively as well.
