Defense

I remember, quite a few years ago now, watching DoG play at Regionals. I still remember Billy Rodriguez exhorting a defender from the sidelines, "where do you want to make him go?"

As one who was (and still is, if I let my mind wander) inclined to play defense by merely chasing my guy around, this was revelatory. "Where do I want to make him go"?! What a concept!

Now, years later, Josh Mullen has put up a post laying out how that works in practical terms: Good Defense Happens BEFORE the Disc Moves. Perhaps not as pithy as "where do you want to make him go", but much more helpful.

Hi

I'm Jim Biancolo, and this is my weblog. It's about all the stuff I only know a little about, and wish I knew better (plus diversions, of course). I also created Listology in the previous millennium (raised it from a pup but I stopped playing with it and I feel bad so I'm giving it away to a good home), and the fitness weblog Lean & Hungry Fitness, which will be gone soon, subsumed, but it was a cool domain while it lasted.
