Timing in Sports
Timing is the ability to coincide movements in relation to external factors. It is is a combination of decision-making, co-ordination and reaction time which gets us in the right place at the right time. Sports people with good timing always seem unhurried.
One way to improve timing is to perform repetitive drills. Athletes with more experience tend to have better timing. Being able to anticipate events by ‘reading the game’ often gained through experience allows us to demonstrate good timing because we get into the correct position early. An athlete with better timing will be able to perform at a quicker rate.
There are not tests available for timing, though some training drills can give an indication of a players ability in this area.
