Can you please tell what and how should a defender practice?
Alois Rosario Answered 11 years ago
Hi Rutvik,
There are similar drills for defenders that you can do. If you look at the Training Drills download and then adapt that for defence. For example instead of doing the FH FH footwork with a counterhit you can do it with a chop.
We also have a lesson on Defensive Footwork which will help you.

#15 - Using Depth
In this session we talk about the length of your placement. Often we think that we need to always hit the ball deeper and faster however sometimes playing a shorter ball during a rally can catch your opponent off guard. If this happens to you, you need to ensure you are able to move forward and deal with the shorter ball.
