Behavioral / Mental Makeup

This information is derived from surveys Willem Van Der completed. The surveys and reports were created by EXACT Sports and are exclusively available on PrepHero.

Willem Van Der's favored learning style is kinesthetic. This tactile style of learning takes place by the learner actually carrying out a physical activity, rather than listening to instructions or merely watching a demonstration.

Individuals who have a predominantly kinesthetic learning style are thought to be natural discovery learners. They might have realizations through doing, as opposed to having thought first before initiating action. Kinesthetic learners may struggle to learn by reading or listening.

It is common for kinesthetic learners to focus on two different things at the same time. They will remember things by going back in their minds to what their body was doing. They also have very high hand-eye coordination and very quick receptors. Kinesthetic learning is a learning style in which learning takes place by the learner using their body in order to express a thought, an idea or an understanding of a particular concept.

Kinesthetic learners may stand out because of the constant need to move; high levels of energy which may cause agitation, restlessness and/or impatience. The short- and long-term memory of the kinesthetic learner is strengthened by use of own body movements.

In terms of Willem Van Der's motivational style, he is categorized as a Maintainer. Willem Van Der is very dedicated to sports and tries to be the best that he can be. He likes to make people happy. Willem Van Der enjoys being a strong key to his team's success. To motivate Willem Van Der, coaches should give Willem Van Der frequent feedback about his performance.
