Whatever your sport, it's all what you see.  Your eyes bring you 80% of all that you observe.  Shouldn't you train them as carefully as the rest of your body?

We are the Visual Fitness Institute^®, and we've worked with athletes for years pros, amateurs, even Olympians.  We've trained their visual skills, bringing them to peak levels of performance.  And now our Vizual Edge™ products allow you to perfect these same critical skills.

Often one of the differences between each athlete is the quality of visual information and how it is obtained and processed. The Vizual Edge Performance Trainer^® ( VEPT), available on CD-Rom addresses the visual skills that are a critical performance factor in just about every sport. These visual skills are interrelated and acting in harmony produce the visual information used by athlete’s to excel in athletics. The VEPT offers a personalized method to evaluate your visual skills which can be trained, practiced, and perfected leading to improved performance on field!

Athletes learn at an early age to “watch the ball”. Watching the ball requires the use of visual skills which impact athletic performance on field, such as pitch recognition, locating open players, recognizing the speed direction and trajectory of an object, angle of pursuit, and spatial awareness. Decisions made on field are based on what the athlete “sees” happening and their interpretation of the play as it develops. The speed, efficiency, and accuracy of that information will impact timing, balance, and confidence during play.

Elite athletes and coaches are always searching for ways to gain an edge. The Vizual Edge Performance Trainer^® is used by elite high school, Olympic, and professional athletes, as well as training staff to address the “visual component” of their game.

Vizual Edge Performance Trainer^® is available for purchase at www.vizualedge.com.

Athletes from virtually any sport can benefit from visual training.  Here are the stories of two of their winners.

The College Baseball Player
"The ball was coming my way, but I couldn't really see it, couldn't follow it well enough to hit my best.  But once I trained my visual skills, the confidence kicked in.  Now I'm the consistent ballplayer my coaches hoped for.  I'm hitting well and striking out less.  And on top of it all, the training has helped me read and take notes better in class.  Better playing and better grades - I couldn't have asked for more."

The Olympic Luge Athlete
"I compete at an elite world class level.  That requires training everything, strengthening the entire body - including the eyes.  After several weeks of vision training, my timing on the course reached new levels of accuracy.  And because of it, I made the National team."
