If you play Basketball,
Baseball,
Football, Soccer, or any other ball sport, JUMPUSA has a big piece of
news
and advice for you this week: Learn how to JUGGLE! Always a great party
trick and useful for circus performers, juggling is a neuromuscular
skill
that can have a profound impact on your sport. Among other benefits,
juggling
improves: Ambidexterity, Hand-Eye Coordination, Depth Perception,
Peripheral
Vision, Neuromuscular Balance, Quickness Under Control, and
Concentration
for such activities as Baseball hitting and Basketball Free throw
shooting.
Not only that, scientists
have recently
discovered (Nature 1-04) that learning to juggle causes cellular
changes
in areas of your brain. Mastering the skill increases the amount of
gray
matter in areas of the brain that process and store visual information,
proving what was not thought possible -- that new stimuli can alter the
brain's structure. So learning to juggle will not only help you see the
ball, see the defenders, and see plays develop, juggling skills once
learned
will make you smarter!
Find 3 balls that are heavy
for their
size. Something about the size and weight of a lime is about right. You
need the weight to properly feel them land in your hand. It helps if
they
come in different colors, which imprints the proper coordination onto
your
brain more effectively. Tennis balls are too light; golf balls too
small;
softballs too big. The soft juggling balls they sell are good. The
advantage
is they don't roll away when you drop them.

Add extra challenge to vision training drills with a
wobble board. Not only with your sports vision improve, the
wobble board will help prevent ankle twists and sprains by
strengthening muscles, tendons and ligaments of your lower leg. Your
game will benefit from better balance, stability, and increased range
of motion. Wobble board training can dramatically improve the strength
and coordination of all the key muscles involed in running and jumping.

"Juggling works! Not
only did
my handles get better but my court vision just got ridiculous. My focus
has increased to the point where I can see the game as a big picture. I
can see everything that's happening on the court and as a result I'm
dropping
more dimes and giving passes that you have to see to believe." --
