I personally did over 10 years of dance (especially ballet + some jazz, hip hop & tap) & basic acrobatic gymnastics (throwing people, no equipment & in my case only basic tumbling). But I still cannot coordinate my muscles to do pull-ups b/c I cannot tell which way to move the muscles in my arms to "pull-up". I can do push-ups but I usually do them on my knees or legs propped on an exercise ball since I can't tell when my back is straight (scoliosis doesn't help either). Though overall I'd say I'm fairly coordinated average-above average overall flexibility & unusually strong for someone my size (I'd try lifting my one friend who has to weigh 50 lbs. more than me if he'd let to to prove it ).

I could never do pull-ups as a child, even when I was very thin and light. I worked hard at it in my 20s and eventually could do up to 10 but I noticed my right half became way more visibly developed than my left, especially my back. Also, when I took swim lessons as a child I couldn't swim in a straight line because my right side was stronger than my left.
I took up rock climbing at one point when I was about 18 and I had some trouble because my legs would develop a tremor and cause me to fall if I held my weight with the same leg in the same position for too long. The only solution was to plan my hand and foot holds ahead and move fast. Certain balance and resistance exercises did help the tremors at least partially go away. There's definitely a neurological factor as well though because I still get the tremors in my legs after I get overstimulated or go through an anxiety provoking experience.
I never had much problems with fine motor skills as I used to play with legos all the time starting when I was as young as 4. In fact I could assemble models that were designed for children 9 and up when I was only 6. Gross motor skills are sub-par though as I suck at most sports involving catching, throwing, or any kind of coordinated full body movement.

Yes, many persons have motor control areas which work ok but islands, here and there, which work imperfectly.
Some games which require fine motor control (such as Jacks or Pick-up Sticks) for me were quite challenging.
