Danso is a big problem. Take this situation, for... example: •Fulham launched the ball forward under pressure •Very easy ball to handle for a CB we could apply even more pressure on them •Danso give them the ball with no pressure, allowing them to scoreshow more

Even when they are under relatively little pressure,It appears... Limerick Players resort to throwing the ball,Tell Me this isnt being coached into them #limerickhurling #hurlinghandpass #hurlingshow more

Too many players guard the ball passive. We need... our players to impact and disrupt the ball - No Comfy QBs. Here’s our 3-part progression: #1. 12 Seconds of Hell A continuous 4sec–4sec–4sec rep to teach layered ball pressure: 4 sec of ball tracing: hand above the ball (not across body), pressure passers, pop back on rips. 4 sec of live dribble: small space containment, stunt and recover. 4 sec of dead ball pressure: vocal pressure “DEAD DEAD DEAD,” limit vision, force back foot passes. #2. Man in the Middle A simple drill that goes back to childhood. 2 passers, 15 ft apart. No overhead passes. Defender must slap the ball to start each on-ball rep. If they force a deflection, errant pass, or movement from the receiver → passer is in the middle on defense. #3. Fake Game 1v1 with only 1 or 0 dribbles. Forces defenders to pressure and disrupt without getting blown by. If they sag too much, they give space for an easier shot or downhill free dribble. If they pressure, they learn to force wide and force tough shots. We call it HEAT. Every defender's heat is different, but everyone needs to impact the ball in some way. No spectators or statues on the ball waiting to be attacked.show more

This is negligible pressure on the ball by JK... and no effort to recover toward the popping big by Draymond. The lack of urgency here is palpable.show more

These are the situations we need to exploit. Everton... are forcing us wide & maintaining their pressure on the ball. Play there, invite them to bite & target the spaces behind Gueye once he engages.show more

Don't Play Out - Too Risky Constantly see them... same rhetoric for teams that "Build from the Back" & use their GK + CBs to Progress the Ball: - Too Risky - Get it away - Put in the Oppositions Half then play Nobody ever pulls up how many times the ball often comes straight back in your half in a dangerous area for the opponent. 20:05 - We have safe possession at a Goal-Kick 20:17 - Conceded Freekick 21:08 - Czech score from that Freekick Absolutely criminal at Youth Level where the pressure is lesser to be even be allowing this 🤮show more

Gravenberch received the ball on the half turn and... had the audacity to pull of two nasty dribbles while under pressure and still found a pass to Summerville 🤯show more

Drake Maye on if he feels pressure to throw... Stefon Diggs the ball often. Per: Patriots on CLNS “If he's open a lot, then he'll get the ball a lot.” 👀🔥show more

Working on a “Middle Jab” 🎒 Trying to create... space from ball pressure ✅ Not perfect reps but you can see them exploring 👏 Love working on this stuff at my camps! This was in Minneapolis with Midwest Basketball Trainingshow more

Kroupi is him. Shoulder over the ball & no... follow-through on the shot so he won’t sky it. Little backlift to get the shot off quickly under pressure, but still generates power by driving his bodyweight through the ball with that small hop after contact.show more

If you can perform a chip + chase under... pressure them this stuff is easy. Don't know what all the fuss is about if I'm honest 😉show more

Pep Guardiola challenges the usual idea of duels. We... always talk about duels. Defensive duels. Winning the ball back. But Guardiola asks a different question: What happens when I have the ball and I don’t lose it? When I’m pressed. I protect it. I make one more pass. That is also a duel. A mental duel. A technical duel. A collective duel. Keeping the ball under pressure is winning. That’s what City have been talking about. Not just fighting for the ball — but fighting with the ball.show more

When receiving on the turn under pressure, the next... touch makes all the difference. Summerville receives on his right, then immediately follows with his left. Keeps his momentum to turn away from pressure while placing his body between Muñoz and the ball.show more

I can't believe people are blaming anyone other than... Gray for this goal. -He asked the ball first -He had plenty of time to adjust his body -Left the ball uncovered going for a control with the left -Unaware of the pressure form the back Rookie mistake.show more

I hate to nitpick but this 3-run moon ball... is kind of a rally killer. Small ball keeps the pressure on and turns the lineup over to the better hitters. Especially this early in the game. I’d like to see Shaw be a better teammate in the futureshow more

Marc Guehi is similar to Joel Matip in his... ability to bring the ball out from the back while under pressure. He’s going to play a huge role in Arne Slot’s system.show more

Y’all want to harp on Luka Doncic’s turnovers without... looking at them too. This is on Ayton. He’s 7’ and has a deal in the paint. Luka put this ball where he could literally finish it on the catch with a layup and Ayton looked like the most unathletic player in the league for no reason. Look at me with a straight face and tell me this ball wasn’t put somewhere Ayton could handle and finish. Los Angeles Lakersshow more

We NEED to talk about this throw by Russ.... This is an ABSURD throw to readjust your feet with pressure in your face and throw this ball on the money. Wow. That was absolutely spectacular.show more
