Training principles are constantly improved upon in our fast paced world. Speed and agility training has benefited a lot from this trend.   Some see it as the biggest breakthrough in athletic training and speed and agility training in decades.   We have to thank a class of people called contrarians for the development of training protocols applicable to previously thought of as untrainable characteristics. The NFL Combine is a camp in which professional football teams assess NFL draft candidates – this training is the “where it’s at” there.   Sports Vision training.  It encompasses the obscure skills such as reaction speed, sport intelligence, anticipation, game tempo, court or field vision, focus and concentration, depth perception and timing. The foundation of sport vision training is simple: if the player can see it faster, the player can react to it faster.   An athlete must be able to see, react and anticipate the next move of the opponent, the better and faster he or she can do that, the better the athlete will be.
Athletes make mistakes if their sports vision is lacking.    An athlete doing conventional speed and agility training needs to also be  trained for speed exercises of the mind as well, or speed and span of recognition training.   This includes even the fastest players.  Times have changed and the atletes who don’t improve these previously untrainable characteristics will be left sitting on the bench.

The important point to remember is that sport vision training leads to greater amounts of information being processed EVEN when under stress.  While there are no true standards since the field is so new, below are some of the sports vision training topics and what they cover:

* peripheral awareness – the ability to recognize and react improperly focused objects

* visual reaction time – is time between when a change or stimulus is seen and when you react to it

* how many moving objects the player can deal with and how well he can take them into account is called dynamic visual acuity    * eye tracking – the ability to to watch or follow the ball carefully no matter how fast it may be traveling
* eye focusing – this training allows your eyes to get more information by being able to focus on things faster, more information, better game reactions

* depth perception – knowing exactly where an object is allows you to catch, kick or dodge that object

* eye endurance – the eyes get tired too, if they have more stamina, then they can behave better for a longer time (until the buzzard rings)
I hope this has sparked your interest as far as Sports Vision Training is concerned.  Above all, it proves the once thought to be natural ability to see the floor or field, or keeping your eye on the ball can be learned and applied.

To further support this process you should also learn about:speed,agility and protein
