Think about three meters. That is you defensive responsability. Whether you are a stand-up player or you play down, you must concern yourself with only your area. If you are using proper body form, even if you go the wrong way, you will stop the ball anyway. When watching Teams at the international level, they play THEIR positions only. Flying around to stop every ball is not your defensive Job. This is one of the things that the US team is trying to focus on in its preperation for Sydney. Three meters!
