Drop your glove to the ground. Keep your weight almost balanced with a little more weight threw your toes. This will give you a stable center of gravity. Watch the ball all the way in the glove. Watching the ball makes it easier to catch. Getting your glove down to the ground  fast gets your ready for the the ground ball. If the ball takes a bad hop, you are now ready to move your glove to the ball.
