Find your private football coach in Oxford

Every defender should master the 5 S's to read the game and react quickly.

• Close down: get tight to the opponent as fast as possible to apply pressure.
• Decelerate: reduce your speed as you approach so you stay on your feet and ready to react.
• Stand up: set a strong base that lets you mirror the attacker's movements.
• Steer: use your positioning to channel the play into a less dangerous area.
• Secure: stay patient and poke the ball away or block a pass rather than diving in.

With regular guidance, the 5 S's become instinctive and transform your defensive game.
