Step Two. Intercept the pass at the net (if it's a good pass). Make contact with the ball about 1 foot over your head.

You should not be in this situation good pass or what not. You should beat the pass and be in a position ready to set.

Step Three. Hold your hands above your forehead with your thumbs and index fingers nearly touching, making a diamond shape, with the rest of your fingers spread open.

I would do this before step two. If you're trying to do this after you've already intercepted the ball, it's too late.

Step Four. Bend your knees.

I would do this before step three. It's much, much too late to think about bending your knees at this point.
Do ehow's step four, three, two, then, five. Step one is getting to the ready position to set.
like this way:
1) Ready position to set: be under ball preferrably one foot infront of the other, right foot parrallel to net
2) on your toes, knees bent (ehow step four)
3) hands up early, steady with window, elbows bent (ehow step three)
4) contact the ball with finger tips/pads (ehow step two) with trampoline effect, spring back up
5) lean into the direction of the set, shoulders square to target - superhero takeoff (ehow step five)
