Keith Van Horn: "Of all genetic physical gifts elite athletes have, I'm convinced spacial awareness is number 1 - over speed, quickness & jumping ability."

Although I'm sure he meant spatial awareness, here's a definition:

It also involves understanding the relationship of these objects when there is a change of position."
