Zone Focus- Focus needs to be the same for one place that your shooting. You can't be moving the camera all around trying to change the focus a lot or its not going to work and your not going to get anything. It needs to stay within one zone.

Shutter Speed- Most of the time your shutter speed needs to be really high (At least 250) to freeze action. Also, if you have a high shutter speed, your aperature needs to be really big. So you get a lot of light in your picture.

Panning- When panning, you have to make sure your shutter speed is low enough, but not too low. Its good for when your shooting something inside and there isn't a lot of light so your ISO needs to be low. To pan, you need to follow the subject you want to be in focus and keep following them even after you take the picture to make sure they are really in focus.

Waiting for the Pause- If you don't want to pan and your shooting inside, this is another good technique to use. What it is, is your waiting for that one moment where momentum changes. A subject is running, and has to pivot to turn around, for example. Or a subject is just waiting for a ball. That's when your supposed to shoot them.
