WHY SHOULD I DO VISION TRAINING?
80% of sensory information is visual, which means there is a tremendous amount of information your eyes and brain need to process in order to quickly and accurately react on the field.
Working with thousands of Olympic, professional, collegiate and youth athletes over the years, Vizual Edge has found that players with better visual skills tend to perform better in their sport. The good news is, these skills are trainable, right from home on any computer or tablet!
