Reaction

response time. Basically, it's having the ability to repond
quickly to your stimulus. There are two different types of
reactions and they are "Simple" and "Choice" reaction. Simple
reaction means, the time taken between your stimulus and
movement. Choice reaction means, the time take between your
stimulus and the action that requires a choice.
Very skilled and talented athletes reduces their time of reaction by
choosing the most important information and by anticipating the other
atletes actions.

your reaction. Being aware of your surroundings can dictate your
ability to react to certain matters in certain situation.
