Hi I'm a defensive player but most people are attackers is my full potential being muffled because I'm not offensive?

You can reach a very high level being a defensive player.  If you feel comfortable as a defender, then keep going with it.  Just reach as high as you possibly can.

Joo Se Hyuk has reached an amazing level being a defender.
