Single focus point (AF-S)

Hey guys. I am new to all this. I bought the Nikon D7000 about two months ago.
when I am using the single focus, I focus on the person eye (portrait). However, when the model is moving I need to recompose and move the single point with the multi selector until I focus on the eye again.
There is an easy way to do that? Better work flow? Or maybe it just a matter of experience?

I hope I explained myself clearly.

Thanks in advance.

Put it in AF-C...Auto focus constant..When you or the subject moves the camera will refocus...

also,, move unlock the focus control point the switch on the back of the camera on the control pod,, and then you can move the single point around to the place on the frame.. If the model is static, I sill do that,, so that the eye is perfect, matix focusing risk having the camera focus on the chin, or worse arm, so,, you have to be careful.

Thanks guys... If I will put the AF C it will refocus at the same spot (the eye)?

And STMV, I was moving the focus point (if that's what you meant) but when I need to keep moving it every picture I take, it takes time...

Thanks...

I would suggest using 9 point or 21 point focus, personally, coupled with stopping down to get a good depth of field.

Portraits typically take time to shoot the way you want it. This is just the way it will have to be if you're bent on using that centre focal point. If you're shooting a subject that moves around a bit (a child or a dog?) you really should use AF-C so the focal point tracks the subject (or AF-C with 3D if the subject is sporadically moving left and right, towards and away from you, such as a race car or something.) You could focus/recompose as well with models but I never do that..
