wut do? Am I fucked? Can you even improve hand eye coordination significantly as an adult?
Spend some time playing video games like rock band or try to learn an instrument, I never played sports but my hand-eye coordination is on point just from vidya. Other than that practice practice practice.
you can always improve by working hard, but you're right, you'll never compete with people who train from child. does it matter, though? when you play sport as an adult you're not doing it to become a world champion. it's just a social thing.

Practice
Put the hours in an you'll develop muscle memory and coordination

Video games do not help in ANYTHING. Do not believe redditors claiming otherwise.
An instrument can help somewhat, but not so much in sports coordination

OP here
>used to play music
>played lots of video games
it doesnt help
only thing that has helped is lifting. I was slightly more coordinated after lifting which kind of surprised me.
Is the solution just to lift more?

I'm not planning to get on a world level but just on a decent level. Problem is almost everyone who still plays this sport as an adult played it from child
I've played sports all my life and my hand-eye is still shit

I pick up new sports fairly regularly. Started playing badminton a couple of years ago and I've picked up cricket recently. I mostly do it for the social aspect but it doesn't take long to get fairly decent if you aren't a complete spastic.

We're you actually GOOD at playing music? It only really helps in coordination when you can play beefheart tabs or some shit
Playing a G chord does not count

JUGGLING!
My sis wanted to learn juggling and bought some sack cube toys. She left them behind at my house and I used them for a week. It took about 3-4 hours (on and off) to get the pattern down. I only did up to 5 catches. But I was seriously improving. Also got a good cardio workout picking up the sacks every 5 seconds. Proof of HandEye Coordination? I dropped 2 supplement bottles and caught them with pure instinct. I reacted with joy. Also seeing how quickly I was improving with juggling in under a week, left my mind with positive thoughts. My sister took them back though, and I am gonna buy my own.
