Movement Readiness Evaluation Before Commitment

A practical method for determining whether the body and environment are prepared for a movement decision, reducing risk from premature transitions.

Introduction

A practical method for determining whether the body and environment are prepared for a movement decision, reducing risk from premature transitions.

Key Points

  • Explains readiness checks before initiating movement.
  • Teaches how to identify unstable or unclear conditions.
  • Covers evaluating visibility, footing, and posture.
  • Supports safer and more predictable transitions.
  • Helps players avoid committing to uncertain actions.

Details

Movement readiness evaluation helps players determine whether conditions are suitable for a deliberate shift in position. Instead of committing immediately, players run brief readiness checks.

These checks include confirming stable footing, evaluating nearby space, ensuring clear visibility, and verifying that the marker and upper body are aligned.

If any factor appears unclear such as uneven ground, uncertain spacing, or disrupted posture the player delays movement and performs a stabilizing adjustment.

This reduces errors caused by abrupt movement decisions and supports a smoother, more consistent strategic flow.

Readiness evaluation forms the foundation for responsible repositioning and helps prepare players for more complex movement planning techniques.
