One thing you can do is to anticipate, focus at where you expect them to be
rather then where they are currently (kinda like photographing sports).
Additionally, you can use faster film, so that you can close down and
increase your depth of field.

As far as exposure is concerned, once you get the main exposure nailed it is
not going to change by too many stops. All you have to do is move the
aperture or shutter speed in the direction of the arrow (at most a couple of
clicks) which shouldn't take too much time.  Just decide whether you want to
adjust the shutter speed or the aperture beforehand.

Worse comes to worst, today's negative films have quite a bit of exposure
latitute so being off a stop or two is not going to prevent you having a
good print.

Once you practice enough, it will be comfortable.

I just couldn't focus fast enough and missed so many
great shots...

So how do I improve my situation...
