Get Out Of A Press From Left Back in Field Hockey

April 08, 20252 min read

Do you ever feel the heat as a left back, especially when you're trying to break out of a press?

It’s no accident. Many teams deliberately target the opposition’s left back, aiming to force a turnover and launch a counterattack down that channel.

That means, as a left back, your decision-making under pressure is crucial - not just to keep possession, but to set your team up for a strong attacking play.

In the video below, I break down key strategies to handle this situation with confidence and control, and walk you through each one with real-game examples.

🎥 Watch the video below to see how to turn pressure into opportunity.

How To Get Out of a Press as a Left Back in Field Hockey

Are you a masters hockey player wanting to play your best in national or international tournaments?

I've put together a NEW In-Depth Resource for Masters Hockey Players (made up of 10 short modules), where I dive deep into "The 7 Performance Multipliers that separated GOOD players from GREAT players during the 2024 Masters World Cups" where I took part both as a player (where we won Gold in Cape Town) and also as a coach (where we won Bronze in Auckland).

In this training I'll show you real life practical examples from the Masters World Cups and how to apply them to help you stand out and perform at your absolute peak. These insights are game changing for masters hockey players striving to perform their best in national and international tournaments.
