It may sound funny but shooting without IS usually means high shutter as others have said. If I have to slow the shutter speed to where I think camera shake is going to be an issue, I stand so my left side is facing the action, kind of hunch over a little, and rest my elbow on my hip. I find that it steadies everything and gives a brace to the camera. I breathe out when I shoot as it seems to calm your body more than trying to hold your breath or anything like that. It may look funny, but I hardly ever get camera shake with that. Doesn't really work if your outside using a 100-400 as you really can't extend your arm, but it works with a 70-200 as all you need is a twist to move the zoom.
