"catch the ball at its highest point"

[Cross Bones]

what does this even mean? it never made sense to me.

The highest point of it's flight, not waiting for it. Essentially be aggressive and go get it.

I mean I eventually understood that it meant at the highest point that I could get it. But its highest point is absurd, unless you're Vince Carter or Boykin.

It is a phrase that coaches use to teach kids to jump and catch the ball at the highest part in the air that they can, and not to let the ball come down and cradle catch. So many kids try to jump cradle catch or just let It come down to them that DB's can make a play on the ball...
