there is a time to jockey and a time to run like hell.........just watch the attacker and choose the most appropriate defensive position.

The aim is not always to get the ball but the be in front of the attacking team to block/tackle or push them back.

One of the biggest mistakes is attacking the ball too much if they are counter attacking you or breaking against you #1 priority is to get goal side and then look at how to tackle or "jockey" them
