The Modern Right Back

At TTi, we see the right back as more than a defender — they’re the link between lines, the outlet in transition, and the heartbeat of the build-up.

A quality right back shows:

Awareness — reading play early, positioning smartly, and anticipating danger.

Athleticism — covering ground up and down the line with intensity and purpose.

Composure — calm on the ball, confident under pressure, and connected to the team’s rhythm.
Courage — willing to overlap, combine, and take risks for the good of the group.

Compassion — supporting teammates, covering when needed, and putting the team first.

It’s a position of discipline and daring — where Will to Win, Calmness, Be Bold, and Show Compassion all meet.
