Balance and body awareness play an important role in how we control movement .
Proprioception is the system that helps your brain understand where your body is in space. When this system is well trained, athletes may be better able to adjust to unexpected movement or contact .
Exercises that challenge balance and proprioception include: single leg balance, partner balance challenge, stability, drills, and movement training on varied surfaces .
Training these systems help improve coordination and control.
