Image your running. As fast as you can in a straight line. Now you look back because someone is about to throw you a ball. But you only look for literally a fraction of a second because you gotta keep running. When you swing your head back around, in a full sprint, you notice two guys running with you, trying to stop you from catching that ball. You ignore them. Now, about 40 yards in to your sprint, at exactly the moment you feel, or sense, or somehow know that the ball is at the perfect hight; you turn 180 degrees and leap all in one motion. There's the ball, you stretch your arms above your head and your hands meet the ball at a point in space that you predicted about 3 seconds ago when you took that peek back. Now, imagine doing that last part, with your eyes closed.
Take a close look:
This is really an amazing story and great explanation of how that shit is even possible. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123207803343289089.html
