Early preparation has both mental and physical components. Mentally,
you must have a heightened sense of alertness, which will help you concentrate
and see the ball early all the time. From the physical
perspective, notice my poor preparation here. My racket head is down near
my knees, which means I've got to get it out of the way to take my first
step. Even that micro-second delay is too much. Notice my poor foot preparation.
I'm standing flat-footed, with the knees locked. This means that there's
no way I can take a quick first step or start my racquet preparation.
