For example, this has been shown in sports science research in the NHL, showing that when players are about to pass the puck, they become suddenly vulnerable to being blindsided due to loss of peripheral awareness – a major concussion risk. I know that a key issue for many athletes is that when they become stressed during competition pressure, their visual attention collapses inwards. In our traditional practice we’re taking people with below-normal neuro-visual skills to normal level, but with athletes we’re actually taking those with normal skills to elite level vision skills, and then on to next-level performance for superior awareness and reaction times.įrom a more vision-specific perspective, NeuroTracker is an ideal spatial training tool. Every athlete can benefit from enhanced visual processing and attention.

Now, in my practice at Neuro-Vision Associates of North Texas, we run advanced performance programs for a slew of professional teams including Texas Legends of the NBA developmental league, FC Dallas of major league soccer, Allen Americans of the ECHL and Toronto Blue Jays (MLB). I started studying sports vision performance in baseball 28 years ago when this was a relatively new concept. I always knew we could enhance the visual system in a way that could help athletes become better performers.
