Defending
TAUGHT BY Jon Gonzalez & Eliud Jaimes
Defending is a vital component of soccer that requires far more than just physical strength it demands tactical intelligence, anticipation, and relentless discipline. A solid defensive foundation is what turns good teams into great ones, and individual defensive excellence can neutralize even the most dangerous attackers. Our training program focuses on key principles such as defensive shape, pressing triggers, recovery runs, tackling technique, and 1v1 containment. Athletes will learn how to read the game, communicate effectively, and make split second decisions that prevent goal scoring opportunities. Through high-intensity drills, situational scenarios, and video breakdowns, we equip players with the tools to become composed, confident, and commanding defenders. Whether you’re a center back organizing the back line or a forward pressing from the front, mastering defensive responsibilities is non-negotiable for elite level play. Join our program to develop into a fearless, tactically sharp defender who knows how to shut down threats and change the game from the back.
