Discussion

Most people who have some idea of sports understand how to make a pass or throw a ball. They tend to understand how to lead the player by throwing the ball ahead of the intended target. This allows the ball to make up for the time difference between the ball being thrown and the receiver catching the ball. My ability inventory coordinate with my ideal ability profile because of the way they coordinate with passing a basketball. Being a basketball player this skill comes easily to me. I have been shooting and passing since I was a child, it comes as second nature to make a pass, but i can understand how it would be difficult for beginner.
