I have learned one lesson in one sport, which I have found to be universally applicable to most other sports.
The lesson is as follows:
Imagine your shoulder points and your hips forming a rectangle. This rectangle needs to be mobile. Start any action by moving that rectangle. Not flailing the arms and legs. Move that rectangle and be agile.
Being quick and active with your hips, and engaging with your core is also a lesson I have learned in jiujitsu. I have found it applicable in:
- table tennis
- volleyball
- basketball
- snowboarding
- windsurfing
- martial arts
and bringing it up to others, they have confirmed it also for tennis.
Which sport do you play and does it apply there?
