Muscle memory is when you’ve done something so many times, you don’t even have to think about doing it. When someone asks you your name, you don’t think about your response. It just comes out, without conscious thought. That’s the same idea as muscle memory. A professional athlete doesn’t think about how they’re going to throw a ball or score a goal, they just do it instinctively because they’ve done it in practice so many times.

As for “controlling” it, I’m not really sure what you mean. Muscle memory happens through practice and repetition. There’s not really a way to “control” it.
