The Body

            
             I often think about what it is that sets aside the coordinated people from others.
             People are said to be gifted if they can excel in a sport or other areas of talent such as.
             dancing, karate, or gymnastics. There are some people that never develop these .
             skills even with much training and practice. After reading about Bodily-Kinesthetic .
             Intelligence, I realize that one's abilities to perform are more of intelligence than a gift. .
             In Gardner's writing "A Rounded Version: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences," .
             He says intelligence "does not change much with age or with training or experience. It is .
             an inborn attribute of faculty of the individual." I realized that the most evident intelligence .
             in my life is the bodily-kinesthetic intelligence. This conclusion is due to my ability .
             to control body movements while involved in sports and to anticipate what will happen.
             next so I can accomplish the task at hand.
             For example, while playing table tennis I can notice the type of swing my opponent is .
             using to strike the ball, which lets me know what kind of spin will be applied to the ball. .
             This spin on the ball can make it change directions after coming in contact with the table .
             or my paddle. The spin on the ball also will make it speed up or slow down when it lands .
             on the table. Even though I can pick up what kind of spin is applied to the ball, I still have .
             to wait for it to land on the table to determine the amount of spin applied to the ball.
             Without even giving it any actual thought, my brain has already processed this .
             information.
             This type of intelligence is also evident in basic reflexes. Everyone has reflex abilities,.
             but not all have the talent or instinct to react accurately to a given scenario. Our sensory .
             nerves involve the five senses. They provide information to the brain so it knows what .
             action is required. Sometimes the information is intercepted in the spine and sent directly .
             to the muscles (instinctive action).
