Single leg RDL (Romanian Deadlift) balance drill. Here we have a pitcher working on his balance. The ability to have body control and body awareness allows an athlete to identify physical errors and correct them. If you can’t feel what you are doing wrong you are doomed to repeat it. By taking away visual info from the brain the brain MUST finds its info somewhere else in order to balance the body. Usually, 80-90% of all info goes through the eyes to the brain. Now the brain must get its info from the proprioceptive system (the muscles and nerves). Better body awareness allows an elite athlete to make adjustments and consistently put their body in a position for success.
