how do i become more coordinated?
anything i do related to any type of sport or multi purpose bodily function (besides video games & lifting) i do all of it awkwardly.
i throw/catch a football weird and suck at it
same for soccer
i suck at throwing & catching a baseball..
i have a weird & horrible bowling stance (friends say i look like a robot lol)
i can NOT swim at all, i can't even keep myself a float by like lying on my back or do anything simple such as a doggy pattle (yes i have tried learning multiple times however i still can't do anything in the water)
somewhat shitty at riding a bike, and today i went to go ride mopeds around the beach with friends (they get up to 55+ mph) i rode that all awkwardly, was hard for me to keep balance & focus on maintaing a speed & braking when need too
anyway i suck at pretty much everything i do thats physical..
i know how to do it but i do it weird as hell
i am left handed so im not sure if that make a difference at all (always thought it did)
i HAVE gotten better since when i first started but all my friends tell me that i do shit all weird whenever i play any sports with them..
but yea what should i do?
In this case, practice makes perfect. The reason you are awkward with these things is probably because you missed out on a lot of it during the developmental phase as a child.
Not to worry, muscle memory will serve you well.
Just keep playing/doing whatever you want to improve on...and do it constantly. You also need to relax and let your body loose and try not to be as rigid. It will come naturally in time.
Make sure to focus on what you are doing, without completely drowning out everything around you.
This is truly a a mission for pure repetition and mind control for keeping yourself focused but loose.
