This in-depth session goes beyond the basics, giving you the tools to understand, evaluate, and report on defenders like a professional scout.

Perfect for aspiring or current football scouts looking to sharpen their defensive analysis skills.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
🛡️ Understanding defender profiles – from dominant ball-winners to modern ball-playing centre-backs and attack-minded full-backs, and how to identify each type.
🔍 Breaking down key attributes – analysing 1v1 defending, aerial ability, positioning, anticipation, recovery speed, technical quality on the ball, crossing, defensive awareness, and more.
🎯 Unbiased assessment techniques – learning to remove personal biases and assess defenders through objective, evidence-based observation.
📝 Building professional reports – how to structure your notes and present clear, club-ready scouting reports on defensive players.
🧩 Applied learning task – put your new knowledge to the test with a recap exercise at the end of the webinar.
✅ Certificate of Attendance – on completion, you’ll receive an FSC Certificate recognising your learning and development.
