Trevor's difficulty with running up to the ball and missing it, but being able to kick it when it is rolled toward him, indicates a problem with projected action sequence. This concept involves the ability to anticipate and plan the timing and positioning of movements in relation to a moving object, which is where Trevor is struggling.
