Overview: This reflective article shares what good defense looks like, first as an individual, then as a team. It is an easy read and great for beginner defenders to start learning the right stuff.

2 major categories of defense:
Good individual defense
Always be within 0.5m to 1.5m of your player
Guard the man, not the disc. Good defense is just about denying the other team the disc. Do not poach unless you are 100% certain of the block.
Be wary of opponents drawing fouls at high stall counts

Play your part to boost the overall team defense
Listen to the coaches to know when to switch up the defense
