Thanks in Advance!
I think you mean improve, not approve?

I've heard this several times too but cannot remember what it really means. I just think it means, especially for block/charge situations, that you should watch the defensive player so you can see exactly where he/she is and how long he/she has been there. It'll help you make a better decision to call a block or a charge. It will help you not look at the ball and the offensive player with the ball so much, which can help to distract you.
