vision- the earlier you pick up the ball the better. The ability to take a ball on either side as well as midline. Early platform preparation. Best passer takes the seam. when in doubt use your platform angle and face the ball. Have the ability to pass the ball in different ways, the game requires it. I believe we are too dogmatic and too faddish in how we teach passing. YOu need all the skills that people talk about because you have to take the ball in all different angles with the ball coming from all different directions. One size does not fit all. But see ball early, get your platform ready early, great platform angles, and stay calm. On the "stay calm" thing: I once heard someone say that good passers need to have "good nerves." This person was speaking english as a second language, but as I thought about it, I liked what he was getting at. The best passers I've seen and had were always very calm while in reception. They may not have been calm in other aspects of their lives, but when it came time to pass, they are almost always calm and free of nervousness. I try to stress to a lot of players to exhale when passing to "stay calm"
