Yes, but there’s an important distinction! Teams can adopt more proactive or reactive approaches when defending in a mid-block. We'll discuss more about it in our next free webinar: ekkonocoaching.com/free-webi… Both require active decision-making. What changes is the collective behavior, pressing triggers and how players coordinate, while some individual defensive principles may remain the same.

Players don't need more information. They need better information.

Good defending isn't winning the ball. Good defending is controlling what the attacker can do.
