in zone five then move to six and then to one I'll be serving From the Bench into you with a strong Spin and gradually increase the power your job is to get it to the basket preferably right into this basket that's our Target reception Plus+ here's something I noticed while we were paired up the main thing stay calm if I'm serving into you just try to find the ball we'll keep working on this point that when the ball comes at you we try to always cover it with the body and we should be oriented by

the body towards the center of the net all right let's [Applause] go don't jerk just position yourself here it comes and try not to make any unnecessary movements uh-huh yes yes that's it and look if it's not reaching then add a little [Applause] [Music] [Applause] what that's a hybrid I noticed another thing about you can you see your hands in your peripheral vision because that's where they are need them higher yes try standing like this lean your torso a bit and when the ball comes keep your hands here I I see them with my peripheral

vision if I placed them here I wouldn't see them and consequently it's just hard to catch the ball here you see you fully control your hand so now you see where the ball is flying to you if you can feel these flights and arrivals of the ball you can handle them but not everything try to keep your hands a bit ahead [Applause] there did you see them too low again oh nice ah too low [Applause] [Music] again mhm okay we'll keep looking for some details the main detail we need to understand is that we need

to relax when receiving because many make the mistake of doing this movement right before receiving it means you've locked yourself in one place typically people don't move from there I've found for myself this action for example as soon as someone starts to throw the ball I step out position my legs correctly one leg is fully on the foot and one leg slightly on the toe so it turns out if my left leg is forward then I start pushing off with my right leg if I need to move this way way and if I need to

cover the seam on my right side I just do it like this accordingly some can't move properly they act very stiffly and try to make abrupt movements especially those of us who like to squat quickly with a barbell we're explosive and we haven't refined smooth movements so you need to feel relaxed on the reception and watch the ball's movement I remember when I was younger I had very stiff movements I just threw my hands at the reception but actually the harder the ball is coming at you the softer you should meet it if I served

it into you you could still add with your hands you have time for that but as soon as you make an Abrupt movement with a strong hit that's it the ball flies off 2 years ago when I arrived in belgrod I received like during a deadlift bdan taught me to relax like Restless to drop the shoulders forward and I don't know if it makes sense to stand with wide legs there are guys who stand with wide legs but because of this stance it's hard to move for example clo the French outside he stands and jumps

like this his legs are very wide and I don't understand how he starts from that position but usually no one shortens the serve they just hit hard I think as far as I remember Jia gra benov also stands quite wide no he has an average stance he just falls back he's afraid he'll get smashed and falls back jerked softer softer [Applause] yes yes just position your [Applause] hands just relax and you'll feel the balls [Applause] flight look another thing with the hands I found for myself after so many years in sports probably the optimal hand

position because we all try to do it differently some come out and their hands are here for instance look at Nath he comes out his hands are here and he positions them like this in terms of reception he's not the best example to follow but for me it's comfortable when I come out I keep my hands here why here because from this position it's easiest for me to make the angle I need even if the ball flies to the side I start using such a comfortable angle but if the hands are down then that's the

only place we'll manage to connect them so the hands should be a bit ahead and from this position we position them some put them straight but those who can soften the ball on the other hand lower their hands and try to handle the ball here there are many techniques and everyone looks for what's comfortable for them mine is more like a defensive stance with arms spread out to react quickly but maybe it's better to be more compact on the reception [Applause] [Applause] all [Music] [Applause] right [Applause] okay suspended [Applause] [Music] [Applause] look we'll do something

else now we need to sort out the legs it's very important on the reception I see that you're trying to take many steps look for instance we come out on the reception and what can we do we can make two steps here starting with the right foot if the ball flies straight in line and you take the seam with just one step because Beyond that it's not yours that should be taken by zone six if the serve comes from Zone one understandably if the serve were from zone 5 then it would be your ball but

otherwise you don't need to take many steps even if you're slightly late the steps should be like this it's just a habit for me because I cover half the court in my teams that's why I run around and hustle so much and try to receive softer I always start by just positioning my hands when the ball comes at me then I watch the ball's flight path and analyze the force of the serve that came at me if I feel that just positioning my hands is not enough then I add but with my [Music] legs yeah

yeah keep your legs a bit narrower try to position them narrower if it's too wide then you sit down and you can't move anywhere so you need such a stance with semi- bent legs the ball approaches and only then you start moving there that was good [Applause] shoulder look twist it like this that's exactly how it was in my head that's Bliss absolutely [Music] [Applause] perfect W hybrid W oh not [Applause] ready don't worry that was good just the last movement when you tried to position was too harsh you need to make it [Music] softer

I'm going to try to hit you hard now here if we're going to consider defense now then prepare for strong hits that is try using different techniques but if you soften don't do do it abruptly there it comes you've controlled that the ball has come at you here start a soft movement not an Abrupt one and if it's flying at you strongly do the same we don't knock it with our hands but with our bodies and we also soften not with our hands but we lead the body back and the hands go along the axis

the angle between the hands and the body remains unchanged [Applause] [Applause] there yes that was really good you made no extra movements just positioned your hands [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] not there [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] who let's say I was just zeroing in will still Hammer the basket the reason I don't like playing with the camera is because my head always acts as a stabilizer and when the ball is low I have to lower my hands and that's where these mistakes come [Applause] from friend camera discomfort [Applause] I hold my head like this I

can't finish with my [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] shoulders the main thing feel that you just need to position your hands and when it's flying strongly you also feel that it bounces off just right to where it needs to go suspend it there It Is Well he knows how to receive he that's about what I start doing [Applause] too oh there absolutely ideal [Music] no I can't reach that with the camera all sure oh great that's it I really hope you like this video and you'll enjoy hitting like and also subscribe to my channel so you
