Training proprioception and touch for ball handling in sports

Having a good sense of touch and proprioception is essential for ball handling in ball sports. Handling a ball requires the player to pay as little attention to the ball as possible in order for him to be able to pay attention to the other players around him or to the circumstances of the game. In order to do that, players need to develop their touch and proprioceptive senses and their mental system for managing their peripersonal space. Two approaches are described herein that allow players to train those senses to enhance their ball handling skills.

良好的触觉与本体感觉（proprioception）对于球类运动中的控球而言至关重要。控球环节要求选手尽可能减少对球本身的注意力分配，从而能够将注意力投向周遭其他选手或是赛事局势。为达成这一目标，选手需要强化自身的触觉与本体感知能力，并建立用于管理自身近体空间（peripersonal space）的心理系统。本文阐述了两种训练上述感知能力的方法，用以提升选手的控球技艺。
