Hi coach,
I am working on staying lower with a slight forward lean stance during rally
Are there weight training exercises I can do to improve physically?
Thanks,

Hi Andy,
I think that skipping and squats are 2 good exercises that you can start with.
That forward position requires some strength and it is often also just a matter of getting used to being in that lower position. The skipping will help you with the explosive movement from that position.

The Controller
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.
