Ten minutes in your own space.
The layup line
01
The kids line up to shoot left-handed layups. One at a time, they go.
02
Right foot, left foot, up. The coach says “left hand.” Nobody says what the feet do.
03
Ask for just the footwork. Most of them can’t do it at all. It was never about the shot.
The Movement Matrix
Step, land, reach, turn. Each one happens on the left, on the right, or across the body. Lay them out in a grid and you have the Movement Matrix. To own a movement is to do it on any side without thinking. Most people own most of the grid and were never shown the rest. The empty square never looks like a gap. It looks like “he’s just not athletic.”
Movement IQ
Start with hands and feet. Stand across from your kid in the living room, call out a pairing, show it once, then watch. One of them will look different.
Step onto the right foot and reach up with the right hand. Three times, slow.
Same thing on the other side. Step left, reach left.
Step onto the left foot and reach up with the right hand.
Step onto the right foot and reach up with the left hand.
One of these will be slower, stiffer, or a half-step late. That’s the missing square. Everything in the Movement Matrix starts there.

For coaches
You see it every practice: the kid who can’t do the left-handed layup, and ten others waiting behind him. The fix is ten minutes at home, repeated. When a parent asks what they can do, send them this page.
