What are your motor skills like?

Bowling... on a good day I will score 100. Usually, though, I'll hit a strike or two for the first couple of rounds, then bowl gutter balls for the rest. It's uncanny how consistent I am.

I knew my career as a baseball player would never emerge when I couldn't even play teeball.

I can't aim.

i use to play alot of socar some baseball and bits of tenies, basketball and racket ball i was on a socar team was pretty damn good at playing forward and scoring that i changed when i turned 10 . i got into skateboading and bmx/ downhill/ street biking and those are the only sports i have taken seriouslly since and i swim alot at the beach and pools i am not bad at surfing whenever i go to cali but i also run alot i am in great shape for a 17 year old dude.

I agree with zer0netgain about control rather than co-ordination. At school, I was good at hockey because I had the guts to take the ball from other players. However, once I had that ball, I could not hit it in a straight line.

I can keep hold of a basketball, but I cannot shoot hoops.

I really can't run. My legs go at bizarre angles and feel like they're hitting the ground too hard.

I seem to have okay fine motor skills, so I can draw, playing music, drive, play videogames/type etc, but my more gross movements can be a little clumsy, I'm not great at throwing/catching a ball, mostly throwing as my aim doesn't seem to be too great...whenever I go out and about in the countryside I seem to get covered in bruises on my arms and legs but half the time I don't even notice what I banged into, but certainly tree roots even when I try to focus on tree roots and watch them as I'm walking I still get tripped up by them.....I suppose my problem is integrating my proprioception into spatial awareness of my surroundings....as this doesn't apply with fine motor tasks so I would assume that's because I'm not needing to be aware of the space in which I am working, just the task/object I'm working with.

It's quite frustrating....

I used to have bad coordination with throwing things, but I was always good at mini golf.

It is very bizarre when people bring up old threads that contain posts by members who are no longer with us. Weird to see their avatars again.
