By training these skills, you'll be better equipped to:
Shoot with more accuracy - judging the location of the basket better in free space.
Move around the court better - with a clear perception of distance.
Read the court more intelligently - aware of traffic movement and your relation to it.
Anticipate where the game is going next based on what you see.
Train your visual skills to improve your performance.
- Ocular alignment impacts your perception of where the ball or basket is in free space
- Depth perception, eye flexibility, alignment, eye-hand coordination, visual tracking and visual memory are all used for set shots, free throws and jump-shots
- Visual skills help you judge distance to the basket, the sidelines, other players, etc.
- Depth perception is necessary for accurate passing and shooting
- Shooting skills while moving laterally, vertically or both are influenced by visual skills and how the visual information is processed while you’re in motion
- Visual tracking is required to track and locate the movements of other players and the direction of the ball on the court
- Visual skills affect overall court awareness - where you are in relation to other players, traffic patterns, your distance from the basket, etc.
- Improved visual performance helps you anticipate play
- Better visual skills mean better reaction time to help block shots, intercept passes and
rebound faster
Vizual Edge Performance Trainer™ will help you improve these skills and others, increasing your effectiveness on the court. Players with strong visual skills are less likely to lose their focus on the rim when fatigued and attempting a free throw in the fourth quarter. Our work with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and other collegiate, professional and amateur basketball teams is proof positive.
