Sports vision training is an essential component for athletes wanting to excel.

What you will strengthen

Dynamic Visual Acuity

Athletes, targets and opponents are rarely stationary.  Dynamic visual acuity helps athletes see clearly while they are in motion and helps them track moving objects more accurately.  


Visual Processing Speed  

This is the speed at which we process what we see.  Visual processing speed allows athletes to "see faster", make better decisions and react more quickly. 


Accommodation  

We use accommodation to focus in on objects.  This system must be flexible in order for an athlete to change focus from near to far and vice versa quickly. 
 

 Depth Perception 

Depth perception training focuses on enhancing our perception of the location, speed and distance of an object. 

Spatial Awareness   

This refers to the ability to know where you are in relation to other objects, players and location on the field/court/ice/ring. 

Multiple Object Tracking

Multiple object tracking focuses on the ability of an athlete to split their attention and follow multiple objects in space simultaneously. 


Visual Capture 

This is also referred to as “working memory” and it is the ability to take a "mental snapshot" of what is happening and make mental and physical decisions based on that information.        

 
Anticipation  

Anticipation timing is crucial in determining when to make a move.  It is the ability to "think ahead" and make a decision.  This skill also encompasses visual capture and decision making based on another team mates body language.    

Eye Tracking 

Since most objects in sports are in motion, it is essential that an athlete can make accurate and precise eye movements to follow those objects.  


Peripheral Awareness   

Peripheral awareness refers to the ability to identify objects using our side vision.  Sports vision training improves peripheral awareness, creating a wider field of view and making athletes more aware of their surroundings.   

Eye Hand-Foot-Body Coordination:  

This involves simultaneous control of eye and body, hand and foot movements. 


Convergence and Divergence  

This refers to the eyes' ability to follow an object as it moves closer or further away from us.      


Concentration and Focus   

These are essential skills that help an athlete minimize distractions and focus on the task at hand.  Distractions can range from music, crowds, camera flashes, and inner thoughts to name a few.      


Impulse Control   

This training teaches players to act when appropriate and not based on an impulse or feeling. 


Contrast Sensitivity   

Some sports have varying levels of contrast due to changing illumination produced by weather, artificial illumination, shadows, glare, playing surface conditions and backgrounds.  It is the ability to distinguish an object from its surroundings.  It is determined by the difference in colour and brightness of the object and other objects within the same field of view
