60% of rebounding is pure geometry, the rest is wanting to get the ball and timing your jump. In a field shoot, whenever the ball is shot from one side, it will end on the other side most of the time; when shot from the free throw zone it will rebound on the same side. Also, when more force is applied, logically, the rebound will get further. On the other hand, the smaller the force applied, the ball will fall nearer to the place it hit the board or rim. So familiarize yourself with rebounding.
In addition to all this, you should "box-out" (push out your mark so your the closest to the board) to rebound. Anticipation is a great factor in your effectiveness, you not only need to predict where a missed shot will go to be a good rebounder, but also move toward it long before the shot hits the rim.
