In this DVD Coach Freitag unpacks his strategy and philosophy on building a winning defense. In 33 years of Indiana soccer, the common thread has been defense. Defending has led the Hoosiers to 17 of the 33 College Cups. Freitag believes that a team must become good defensively first, then offensively. To help you create a winning defense, Freitag presents coaching tips in the following areas: Transition, Pressure, Anticipation, Vision, Communication, Responsibility, Cover, Start up Position, Block, Angle of Approach and Tussle. Using computer animation, Coach Freitag shares seven defensive drills to hone these keys. The conclusion uses game footage to emphasize the point that "little things make a big difference." Use this DVD to make a commitment to defending and put you team in position to win every game.
