2. Crossover Step
As my shot is traveling back towards my opponent I really need to make
progress towards the middle of the court. If I sidestep towards the middle
of the court I'll be moving in a very balanced manner and able to change
directions, but I probably am not going to get very far. Sidestepping
is not the quickest way to move. The answer is getting at least one good
crossover step to help get me back to the middle. With a good crossover
step, I'll not only be moving a lot quicker but I'll still be able to keep
my shoulders square to the net and keep a good view of the action in front
of me. All the while I'll be prepared to hit a split step and get balanced
at the precise moment I need to: when my opponent makes contact with the
ball.
