Be compact relative to the line of defense.
Defend as a team, unit, and individual. (Screen, mark, delay
and cover).
Establish triggers for pressing the opposition to make a play
predictable. (Arc defending runs to force one way)
Recovery runs to close gaps between units in transition
(between ball and goal)
The ball must be pressed in dangerous areas, no ball watching.
Disciplined and patient in executing decisions.
