ATHLETIC EDGE ACADEMY

THERE’S MORE TO SPORTS EXCELLENCE
THAN PRACTICE.

Even if an athlete has 20/20 vision, there are other visual skills that are critical for elite performance. Visual information must be coordinated with motion, speed, depth perception and accuracy. Athletic Edge Academy powered by Visions uses science to help all these factors work better together so a peak level of performance can be reached.

Research shows training these skills actually elevates an athlete’s game. Just like technique, vision can be improved with therapeutic coaching and training.

If any of these statements apply, vision may be interfering with performance:

Eye-hand coordination seems to decrease as the game progresses
Visual judgement isn’t always accurate
Trouble paying attention; drifting in and out of “the zone”
Double vision, blurred vision, excessive blinking or watery eyes
Difficult to track a moving object
Squinting for far or near visual tasks
Turning the head to use one eye rather than both while competing

HOW ATHLETIC EDGE ACADEMY WORKS

Everything starts with an evaluation of the key components of the visual system to determine which areas need improvement. From there, our vision coach conducts a sensory profile to rank performance against others at the same level. Combining the results, we will present an Athletic Visual Profile, formulate an individualized training program, and execute the program, training the eyes and the brain to work better together to improve the ability to see, process, decide, and react.
