Hand-eye coordination and reflexes is something I work on more than anything.

We have a large amount of data that shows playing fast-paced games improves hand-eye co-ordination, the ability to focus on the task at hand, and your ability to make decisions, as gaming improves your brain's allocation of resources.

I have to constantly work on my reflexes and hand-eye coordination. I do a lot of puzzles. I play chess.

In a game, there are so many different variables that are thrown at you - the defense, where your teammates are, how fast your body's moving, and you have to be in control of all those decisions.

I look at it somewhat as a way - when you learn juggling, what you learn is how to feel with your eyes and see with your hands because you're not looking at your hands, you're looking at where the balls are, or you're looking at the audience.

I'm a visual learner, so with hand-eye coordination, I was a natural.

Over the years, you get better at timing because you've been through the situations thousands of times. The ball goes over your head; he passes you on the right, left. Eventually, you just know what you have to do.

Most young kids can't figure out how to shoot.

Everything is in the timing, I think. I see the ball earlier than the others so maybe that's why I have a good return.

I often speak about tennis being one of the most important sports when I was growing up, for my hand-eye coordination and quick feet.

My husband can not f****ing throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time.

Logic is a wonderful thing but doesn't always beat actual thought.

Women are in this respect more fortunate than men, that most of their employments are of such a nature that they can at the same time be thinking of quite different things.

I think a good quarterback or a good linebacker, a good safety, even though you have a lot of bodies moving out there, it slows down for them and they can really see it. Then there are other guys that it's a lot of guys moving and they don't see anything. It's like being at a busy intersection, just cars going everywhere. The guys that can really sort it out, they see the game at a slower pace and can really sort out and decipher all that movement, which is hard. But experience certainly helps that, yes.
