Benedict Battle
Ben won 10 of 14 duels, 6 of them in the central channel. He played 14 forward passes. 8 of 11 recovery runs got back goal-side. Two balls in behind were played over the top; on both, his starting body shape was square to the halfway line.
Body shape when the ball goes in behind. Opening one foot toward his own goal keeps the ball and the striker in view at the same time and makes the turn to run shorter.
Stand side-on, one foot back. A parent rolls or throws a ball behind. Turn on the back foot, run and gather. 10 reps each side, two evenings this week.
Before receiving in training, glance over each shoulder before the ball arrives, then set feet side-on to the goal you're defending. Repeat every pass for one session.
