How to Strategically hit 1st Tempo

We see a lot of middles trying to hit straight down, but at the highest levels of the game we need to have more shots in our arsenal. This video breaks down ideal body position for giving yourself multiple shot opportunities.

How do you correct your spacing from the net when jumping and make sure you're not too close to the net?

We like to think of there being a square between you and the setter. You’re in one corner with arms out at 90 degrees and the setter is in the opposite corner with their arms out at 90 degrees. This is the correct spacing you’ll need to jump from. Practicing jumping from well behind the setter in drills then live play will help you gradually get better. A lot of the fix comes from being mindful of where the ball is going to end up and how far the setter is away from you

Place some sort of object like a ball or cone at the spot where you should take off. You could put a piece of tape on the floor instead of an object

Hi can you talk about apex when setting and how it dictates the location of the ball? I notice my sets gets to the target but it’s not high enough.
