This provides really useful insights into defensive positioning from the back of the court. The coach explains where the optimal defensive spot is and crucially, when and why you should move forward after hitting a lob. It covers the strategic implications of your lob quality and how it affects your readiness for opponent returns like smashes or bandejas.
