Eye of the Champion
Daniel Laby, MD
Sports vision is an often-overlooked area that can be leveraged for improved performance. Most athletes invest in equipment and training without ever thinking about their vision.
Many scientific studies have highlighted the relationship between vision and on-field performance, and most professional sports teams employ a sports vision specialist to ensure all team members have optimal vision and visual function for success.
This audiobook, written by one of the premier sports vision specialists, details the knowledge gained over a 30+ year career working with Professional Athletes from all major sports from Premier League football to Olympic athletes, as well as almost every Professional league in the USA.
Beginning with a detailed review of how and why vision is important in sports, the book takes the reader on a journey through the vision system, identifying the areas critical to performance.
This audiobook spotlights the different areas that impact sports performance. From basic visual abilities (spoiler alert: 20/20 vision is not normal for an elite athlete and is rarely enough for optimal performance) to how the brain uses vision to make a decision and then how an athlete uses vision to make a perfectly executed motor action.
