Closing Down The Angles

 

When you guard your goal, or advance on a forward, try to imagine two lines extending from the ball to each post.

You should try and place yourself in a position  where you can touch both of these lines.

If you go too far out you will be vulnerable to the chip.  How far out you go is a compromise between narrowing the angles and being able to get back and save the chip.
