Hi Jetric,
I think concentration starts with practice sessions. During training make sure you are focusing on every ball. If you can do this, then you will find it easier to concentrate during your matches.
During a match if you feel you are starting to wander mentally, take a few seconds to take a deep breath and then think about your tactic for the next point.
I find focusing on the ball also helps with concentration.
Question actions
Most drills involve one person performing the exercise and the other placing the ball as required by the exercise. We call this person placing the ball the controller. When you are acting as the controller it is a great opportunity to practice your blocking and concentration. As blocking is an important part of the game you should be 100% focused at this time. You also owe it to your training partner to be blocking effectively so they get the most from their exercise.
