Reply to "getting my glove down fast enough"

My Son works with a former pro middle infielder (10+ years) who played in the world series back in the 70's. His advice and what he teaches is to start low and train your body to be able to move to the ball (quickly and gracefully) from this low position. If the ball is off to the side he wants to see my Son stay low as he manuvers to the ball. He does not want to see him get higher to run to the ball and then try to get his glove down again. Sort of stabbing at the ball. Start low (not necessarilly glove in the dirt, but knees bent, butt lower to the ground, glove out front) and move to the ball low.
