Athletes use their visual systems in virtually every sport and activity.
Some sports require an athlete to strike a stationary or moving object. In others, a moving target is involved, or athletes must respond to objects drawing nearer or moving farther away. They must constantly judge both speed and distance. And all required decision-making is based on accurate visual information.
While the emphasis of certain visual skills differs from one sport to another, these skills are always a critical factor for peak performance. Cross-training them will help you reach a higher level in any activity.

Visual abilities can affect both motor skill and performance. This study proves that correct training programs and hand-eye co-ordination tests can vastly improve sporting performance. Athletes are advised to complete at least 15 minutes of sport-specific visual training during each day of practice.
