#4. Defense: Playing ‘D’ starts with all the clichés: (Attitude, Desire, etc). After all that, you must STOP THE BALL. This is best done by getting in the proper stance where athletes are quicker at reacting to what the offense is doing. Slide10

Some “Coaching” Advice:
Show up to all practices and games 10-15 minutes early.Stay after practice until all the kids have been picked up.
Use the whistle to control practice.
Coach through positive reinforcement.
Address issues of attitude on the spot.
Try to use scrimmage vests rather than shirts and skins.
Accept that you are there to help the kids. Wins and losses (The kids will keep an eye on the score) are by-product of hard work and team work. Slide14
