- guidance in improving the understanding of spins--which can enhance performance in sports such as basketball, tennis, bowling, soccer, and golf;
- insight into the basic mechanics of movement that can be applied to many sports and play;
- experiments and activities to hone and develop players' biomechanical abilities and form problem-solving intuitions and habits that can be used in many sports; and
