Pressing is a tactic used in soccer to force turnovers by applying pressure to opponents with possession of the ball. There are different types of pressing including full pressing, where the entire team presses deep in the opponent's half, and half pressing, where players are arranged behind the halfway line. Successful pressing relies on restricting passing options and reducing space for the player with the ball. Teams must have a plan for when and how to press depending on the game situation.
The document discusses defensive strategies for stopping an attacking team from running the ball down the baseline. It emphasizes:
1) Outside defenders should take angles to slowly close down the ball carrier rather than angles that allow them to bypass or be given space.
2) Defenders must prioritize stopping shots, circle penetration, bypass dribbles, and dangerous passes.
3) The team must work together with close defenders marking receivers to stop the ball carrier and prevent scoring opportunities.
Pressing is a tactic used in soccer to force turnovers by overwhelming opponents with numbers near the ball or surprising them tactically. Successful pressing requires the entire team to participate and cut off passing lanes in order to funnel opponents into a designated space where pressure can be applied. There are different types of presses that position players differently on the field, but they generally aim to restrict options for the player with the ball through marking and denying space. Examples from successful international teams demonstrate how pressing can be used strategically at different points in the game.

Field hockey playbook shooting on goalDerek Pappas
This field hockey playbook provides instruction on proper shooting technique. It describes the correct stance and body positioning, including keeping the ball between the feet, elbow tucked in, and bent knees. However, it notes some common problems like pushing off the right foot too quickly or having the stick below the shoulder on the downswing. The document emphasizes maintaining weight over the foot shooting from and "teeing" the ball in the right position to shoot effectively.
The drag flick in field hockey derives power from turning the right hip into the shot, similar to tennis forehands and golf swings. It involves reaching a lunge position with bent elbows before the stick rotates forward, creating a 90 degree angle with the right forearm. As the right hip begins to drive and rotate into the shot path, weight transfers to the left leg and the right hand drives through the ball. Correct counter rotation of the stick is important to control the angle of release as the right hip and leg release through past the left leg. Practicing the drag flick involves breaking it into small phases, practicing each movement individually and slowly before combining into full movements.
The document discusses different phases of play in a game and appropriate tactics for each phase. It specifically discusses:
1) Locking down defensively at the start of each half and being conservative on offense to control possession.
2) Being aware that a team can become careless or the other team will push harder after a goal is scored, so focus is important.
3) Different strategies for ending a close game when ahead on the scoreboard - such as keeping possession in the corner instead of trying to score.

This document provides instructions for proper shooting technique in basketball. It emphasizes keeping your eyes on the target throughout the shot. Key elements of proper form include having your feet shoulder-width apart and slightly staggered, lining up your fingers to the seams of the ball, bringing the ball up with an elbow at a 90 degree angle, extending your shooting hand toward the rim, and relaxing your wrist on follow through while holding the finish position.
This document provides information about basketball, including its history, basic skills, equipment, facilities, and safety protocols. It was invented in the late 1800s by James Naismith at a YMCA training school. The main skills covered are dribbling, passing, shooting, rebounding, and running. Equipment includes a basketball, uniforms, sneakers, water bottles, scoreboards, whistles, and timers. Facilities include a regulation-sized outdoor or indoor court. The document concludes with tips to avoid injuries from overexertion, dehydration, hypothermia, and hyperthermia during basketball activities.
Baseball is a ball game played between two teams of nine players on a field with four bases laid out in a diamond shape. Throwing, pitching, fielding, batting, and base running are important skills in baseball. To perform these skills effectively, players must master techniques like grip, stance, stride, swing, wind-up, pivot, and follow-through. Mastering these elements is key to preventing opponents from advancing and helping your team earn runs.

The document discusses the psychology required for startup growth. It argues that understanding user psychology and their needs is essential to growth. Companies must commit to constantly testing, measuring, and iterating based on data to power growth. The psychology needed is a love of data, an ability to sustain failure without losing enthusiasm, and a "shrew" mentality of always moving quickly through experiments. User insights like those behind Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Etsy, and WeWork that address core human desires are key to standing out.
Methodologies and flows for chip designDerek Pappas
This document discusses the benefits of using a Chip Specification Language (CSL) to automatically generate shared infrastructure elements across hardware, software, simulation, and verification domains for chip design. Key points include:
- CSL allows for a single specification of infrastructure that can be compiled to generate equivalent code for all domains, avoiding errors from manual generation and maintenance.
- Automatically generating infrastructure can reduce engineering time spent on repetitive tasks by 10-100x, allowing teams to focus on design.
- Shared infrastructure specified in CSL maintains consistency when changes are made, rather than requiring updates across different files and teams manually.
- CSL can generate test benches, vectors, and other elements to dramatically increase verification points

This document discusses techniques for effective passing in lacrosse. It provides tips on creating passing lanes, avoiding dead ends, proper technique for different types of passes, using deception, controlling the ball before passing, and ensuring the next pass is available. It emphasizes the importance of both individual skills like stickwork and team coordination in developing and executing a passing strategy to advance the ball downfield.
Defensive running lines to stop the right side baseline attack in field hockeyDerek Pappas
The document discusses defensive strategies for stopping an attacking team from running the ball down the baseline. It emphasizes the importance of defenders taking the correct angles and positioning themselves to close down the ball carrier. Defenders must prioritize stopping shots, circle penetration, bypass dribbles and dangerous passes. The direction an outside defender runs is crucial - running the wrong angle can allow the ball carrier to bypass or gain space. Working as a unit with roles like closing down the ball carrier, marking receivers, and blocking passes is key to effective baseline defense.
Field Hockey World Cup 2014 Professional Foul Study Derek Pappas
Deliberate fouling has become a common tactic in international hockey according to an analysis of one game from the 2014 Men's World Cup. The analysis identified 24 deliberate fouls committed by Germany against Belgium, primarily to disrupt attacking plays and prevent quick counters. While umpires penalized some fouls, none resulted in severe punishment like cards. The tolerated fouling is likely due to pressure on umpires to keep games flowing, but it also represents a strategic choice by teams to disrupt opponents through physical play rather than clean skills. Distinct styles of fouling are emerging between countries.
Pressing is a tactic used in soccer to force turnovers by applying pressure to opponents with possession of the ball. There are different types of pressing including full pressing, where the entire team presses deep in the opponent's half, and half pressing, where players are arranged behind the halfway line. Successful pressing relies on restricting passing options and reducing space for the player with the ball. Teams must have a plan for when and how to press depending on the game situation.
