Service Providers: Visual Performance skills

Having served some of the world's most respected sports codes and sports people, and in association with the Sport Science Institute of South Africa, we are now proud to be able to offer Visual Fitness training for all.

Important - 80-90% of decisions made in sport are based upon visual information!

Every person has six muscles in each eye that can be trained to improve speed, movement and flexibility. The process in the brain can also be speeded up, and eye-hand/foot/body co-ordination can be enhanced. When players 'see' more, they can assess the situation so much quicker and thus exercise their options and ultimately make better decisions.

Developing visual skills includes learning to use both eyes together effectively. Having both eyes move, align, and focus as a team enhances your ability to interpret and understand the potential visual information that is available to you.

Initially before you process information you've got to get input and that input would involve judging where the ball is in space to be able to respond accurately. Once you see it correctly you can then process that information. So you can train the input skill and you can improve the processing skill and can also improve the response.

Johnny Wilkinson says it gives him more time to make better decisions. All he needed was to improve his visual skills. (Health24 04/11/2005)

Most people are born with the potential for good eyesight but vision, the ability to identify, interpret and understand what is seen, can be trained and improved.
