Keep your eyes open at all times. It´s not easy, but it´s important.
If you miss, work hard to pick up the flight of the ball as quickly as possible after it goes by. This will tell you what your next move should be.
Make sure to pike, push the ball forward and down, so it is less likely to dribble down in front of you.
Keep your hands ball-width apart, it´s like having a third hand up there!
Know your opposing hitters. Call them out to your teammates, for their information and your own.
The farther outside the ball is set, the more likely it is to be hit angle. Stay home and cover the angle, rather than following the hitter outside.
