Are you using messaging = communication with the student through visualization, or are you talking about something the player does to the ball? Your sentence could parse either way.
I first thought you meant massaging the ball, then I thought you meant messaging as in communicating with the student. (It is a popular corporate term these days in management.)
I have never come across Oscar using this term.
Edit: See your edit now. Yes I have heard this massaging thing before.
