How to Beat Horizontal Stack with Colombia Women

[@doktarr]

To me, this is a great illustration of why the handlers in a 3-4 offensive structure shouldn't float downfield like this. Torres wouldn't be able to easily poach the lane if Parker (#87) was even with the disc instead of 7 yards upfield. That poach would have left the swing wide open. Contrary to what the script says, the second possession demonstrates how better spacing makes it harder to poach effectively. The bracketing really didn't have anything to do with the completely unforced turnover.

I agree, this video should have focused more on the adjustment made by Canada between the two possessions. The 2nd turnover doesn't really matter at all, it's a completely unforced drop, happens.

I agree, but to be honest the biggest difference between the 2 clips was the highlight-play by the star player. In the first one valeria was the defender in the second one someone else. The separation at the start of the run was pretty much the same, she was just faster and jumped. I still like the videos very much because it makes us think about these situations.

On the first turn I agree that the bracket switch helped get the D but Valencerina breaks stride and slows down to a near stop to try to clap catch the disc in the gut. That is an egregious mistake for a player at this level to be making. If she had powered through or even extended to rim catch Cartagena is never able to make the layout D. On the second turn I don't see how that can be attributed to defensive play. Dione drops a disc middle torso height disc she gets two hands on. What I'm curious about now is how did Columbia knock Canada so out of tune in the 4th game of the tournament? Errors like this don't come out of nowhere.
