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, Dr Sherylle Calder are 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.

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.

Testimonials:

Grey College -Johan Volsteedt 2007

Thank you so much for your contribution to the success of our sportsmen, especially our 1st rugby team in 2007. The team has been very successful this season and compliments on their skills, awareness and vision have been received from many people who have watched them play this season.

Bob Woolmer - International Cricket Coach

"The importance of picking length as a batsman cannot be overestimated. Using the eyes is therefore paramount to the skill."
"Sherylle Calder's research and work indicates that by training the eyes the skill can improve and I wholeheartedly believe this to be the case."

Maurits Hendriks, Head Coach, Spanish National Hockey Team

"I was unaware of the enormous importance that eye training has in making the player better, until we started working with Sherylle. I see how players lose less time observing players and take their decisions that split second faster. We use this program in 'preparing to win'."
