Hi I am Sue Sofarnos, Head Coach Australian Women’s Lacrosse Team.

As Head Coach of the Australian Women’s Lacrosse Team, I was looking for an edge I could find to better prepare my team to compete in the 2009 World Cup in Prague.

We believed Vizual Edge helped us gain an advantage by varying the training of our Goal Keepers from always being on field & in the goals & risking possible injury. It revealed to them their vizual strengths & weaknesses & helped them improve where needed, which in turn helped them believe they were in the best "shape" of their lives for the World Cup competition. It was challenging work at first, but the players enjoyed the variety in their training program, & truly believed it helped them see the ball and player movement on field better, which ultimately transferred into improved individual & team performances.

If my budget allowed, I would introduce the Vizual Edge training program to the whole team!

I highly recommend Vizual Edge to any coach who wants to maximize their teams on field performance.

Sue Sofarnos
Head Coach,
Australia Women's Lacrosse

Hello!  My name is Robert Taylor.  I have worked in the strength and conditioning field for over twelve years.  I have been fortunate to work with collegiate, professional, and international teams.  As the founder and owner of Smarter Team Training, I am continuously looking for cutting edge technology.

In lacrosse, visual skills can affect balance, passing, catching, shooting, and making a save.  Games can be won or lost by knocking a pass down, squeaking a pass through a tight skip lane, seeing where a slide is coming from, or being aware of a double pick.  All of this happens at full speed and within a blink of an eye.  Understanding where the ball is coming from and where it is going takes practice and focus.  Goalies focus on how and where the ball leaves the head of the stick on a shot.  Being able to pick up the ball while it is in the head of the stick is crucial to making the big save.  The ability to see the ball, to get your body in the correct position, and to drive your hands to the ball to make the save can be hampered if the message received by the brain differs from the visual image being seen.  The difference between a goalie tipping a ball to have it glance into the back of the net and that goalie making a save that turns into a quick clear and a goal-scoring opportunity is the difference of a fraction of an inch.

Incorporate Vizual Edge training into your year-round preparation to help make your program more comprehensive.  For more information on your team’s preparation, check out SMARTERTeamTraining.com.  Good luck with your season!
