Positioning cues come from opponents, not partners.

🏆 #1 Takeaway - What should I focus on for court positioning at the net?
You should focus on what your opponents are doing to determine your positioning, not what your partner is doing.

What Your Guru Thinks

This lesson highlights a crucial point for net play. Many players make the mistake of watching their partner instead of the opponents. The coach explains clearly why focusing on the opponents gives you the necessary information to react and position yourself correctly on the court. Understanding where the ball is going and what the opponents are doing is key to anticipating the play. This simple shift in focus can significantly improve your court coverage.
