I am interested in your take here because you say a “learning to be a sweeper makes 10, 11, 12-year olds more intelligent players.”, but what about the other defenders/players. Does it make them weaker because they have “insurance” or “big brother” to make up for their mistakes?

Thanks.

Are there examples where this can work. I have a big marker of a centre back and a smaller but exceptionally quick centre back and it would be great to have them working together with the quicker one picking up any pieces that are missed by the big fella. Do you have any thoughts on how successful that could be?
