@linneagonzales: DEFENSIVE PRESENCE: BODY LANGUAGE + PLAYING WITH YOUR SPACE🏑🧱💪🏼 Why do you want to have a defensive presence? Well, it makes your job easier on defense because it forces the attacker / attacking team to have to make a decision. You are having an impact without even touching the ball. Sometimes the impact means making a tackle, sometimes that impact means intercepting the ball, and SOMETIMES that impact means helping to force a turnover (aka helping make your teammates job easier allowing them to step up from behind). You can use this when pressing (my personal fave), when you are channeling on the field, when you want to defend both space & a player, etc. This is a very UNDERRATED skill that is not talked about enough & yet… can make such a big impact. Try adding this one to your game & lmk how it goes! And make sure you’re following for more FH tips.❤️‍🔥 #fieldhockey #fieldhockeyskills #fieldhockeyplayer #proathlete #coachingtips
