This book was everything I hoped for and more. From understanding defensive schemes to chapters covering individual defense, toughness and more. Even for a more experienced coach, there are many useful coaching nuggets, new techniques and drills for every topic. If you are looking for a deep dive into everything defense, I can't think of a better resource.
