Good volleyball serve receive skills require a player to keep a straight platform by keeping  thumbs pointed to the ground.

One of the biggest mistakes volleyball players make is bending their elbows to pass the ball.

If you review the photos of elite players both indoor volleyball and sand volleyball players when they serve receive you will notice that their forearm pass in volleyball "platforms" aka the inside of their forearms that they present... are so straight as a board you could use their arms as a flat table to eat on.

There can be alot of things to be distracted by if you don't learn to concentrate and narrow your focus.

What do you focus on?


From this point on your eyes and mind should see and focus on nothing but the ball ALL THE way INTO your arms. (Matt Pendleton)From this point on your eyes and mind should see and focus on nothing but the ball ALL THE way INTO your arms. (Matt Pendleton)


Once the server takes the volleyball in their hands and positions themselves to indicate where and how they are going to serve and then they start bouncing the ball in anticipation of serving it...it's at this point most elite athletes I know focus 125% ONLY on the ball in the server's hands.

From this point on, your eyes and mind and self talk and concentration should see and focus on nothing but the ball ALL THE way as it travels towards you across the net and  INTO your platform arms.

Track the ball all the way into your arms keeping your head up but with eyes on the ball...so that you can see your straight platform.
