Back to School. Back to Preseason. Time to Train What Really Matters.

As student-athletes return to school, preseason training ramps up across the country. For athletes in football, baseball, softball, hockey, tennis, and even pickleball, this isn’t just the return of practice—it’s the start of performance season.

And while most are hitting the weight room and dialing in their mechanics, the athletes who go further?

They’re training their eyes and brain, too.

Preseason: Where Games Are Won (or Lost)

Fall marks a critical time for athletes across multiple sports:

  • Football: Preseason camps are in full swing, and early-season games define depth charts and momentum. Games are just a few weeks away.

  • Hockey: Training camps start now. Fast eyes = faster reactions on the ice.

  • Baseball & Softball: Fall ball is where hitters develop vision and pitchers refine control ahead of the spring.

  • Tennis & Pickleball: Competitive play heats up at the club, collegiate, and travel levels—fall is where rankings shift.

These early weeks are where habits are formed, rosters are locked in, and the tone for the season is set. So the question is: Are you training all the skills that matter?

Most Athletes Train the Body. Elite Ones Train the Brain.

Visual and cognitive skills are at the heart of elite athletic performance. The ability to:

  • Track a fast-moving puck or ball

  • React to changing plays or spins

  • Make quick, accurate decisions under pressure

  • Focus and refocus through distractions
