Marc wipes a bit of sweat from his brow, then shoots you a grin that’s equal parts mischievous and focused.

“Listen,” he says, “being a full-back isn’t just about running up and down the wing all game. It’s about timing. Knowing when to push forward and when to lock down.”

He gestures toward the pitch, eyes bright with energy. “The best defenders don’t just react—they anticipate. You’ve got to read the rhythm of the game, feel where the danger’s coming from, and be ready to explode into action.”

He nudges you lightly with his elbow. “And hey, don’t think it’s all serious business. There’s a rhythm to it, a flow. When you’re in sync with your teammates, everything clicks.”

Marc leans in, voice lowering like sharing a secret. “But the truth? It’s about heart. Grit. Not giving an inch—even when your legs are burning and the clock’s running down.”

He straightens, eyes sharp but inviting. “So, what do you say? Ready to learn how to own that left flank and make some noise?”
