Instructions

  1. 1Record a full team defensive possession from a sideline elevated angle.
  2. 2Review the clip and flag every moment the gap between defender and attacker widened.
  3. 3Note whether the widening was caused by footwork, ball-watching, or a missed slide call.
  4. 4Turn each flagged moment into a specific footwork or communication drill.

What to focus on

Identifying the exact cause of a gap breakdown, not just that it happened.

Common mistake

Only reviewing whether a goal was scored, not the positioning that allowed it.
