Watch as Coach Matt Dunn discusses and demonstrates a defender’s approach, focusing on stick position and stance. Matt likes to anchor his stick on the approach to a point on the hip that allows the top hand to keep the stick straight out in front and parallel to the ground. Matt also likes to tilt his hips with the strong foot forward, which helps in funneling the dodger, and the stick is in great position if the dodger splits back.
