What type of athlete are you?

Hypothesis #56: For those who have spatial orientation of self with respect to external anchoring, when practicing body movements or poses (such as a tango toe in air, a gymnastics flip or a skate aerial), it is  difficult to assess accurate body positioning of self.

This concept has to do with the fact that when there is no physical contact of the focused on part of the body or the whole body with  earth, the self doesn't have parameters of definition. It would be like a rocket travelling to an out of space destination with no earth contact or tethering by communication devices.

The self's locus of spatial orientation may coincide with empathy spectrum level and iadedic memory. Blue vs. Orange based on Chromosome 3 p25, SNP 53576.

If you are an external anchoring type of person, and you don't know it, you may easily get discouraged because you think you are not good at something as in the examples  described above.

The use if a mirror to map and mark internal cues of positions with respect to movement, poses and time  can be a helpful practice in terms of anchoring the self and creating somatic mental memory for future positioning.

The use of video replay is another route to go in which one can anchor position of self with respect to the outside world. There are professional apps where one can replay in slow motion, the somatic movement and make annotations at various places of the movement.

The difference with this sports app feature in comparison to the mirror strategy has to do with time, as one is live and one is replay.

Therefore in the 'replay option,' one has to use iadedic memory with respect to self and spatial orientation in order internally mark the somatic positioning and alignment of body. In other words, one has to go back in the mind and body and picture and feel what he is doing as he is watching the video....Such that he actually feels he is doing the movements live. In this replay space, the athlete can make  mental note of somatic changes that need to be made in future movements.

Future Investigations: This begs the question - is there an internal somatic iadedic memory?

What's your daily hypothesis ?
