Option 2:

A lot of people will tell you to practice with tennis balls, throwing them up into the air and catching them, or having someone throw the ball from behind you against a wall and catch them before they get by you. Interesting thought, but wrong. Some people believe video games can help work on your hand eye coordination, another great idea, but that is better for fingers and less the whole hand. If I were to suggest like anything else you want to succeed in life it should be with a goal in mind. My typical goal is to live, so I would suggest something simple like free climbing a 1000 foot cliff. Think about it, you will be so focused on where your hand goes, what is coming up and how to best move your hands (and feet for bonus coordination training). Because if you don’t and you fail, typically, it is a very, very long way down. Screw conventional, go with real life consequences for best effect.
