One Can

Listen and Not Hear

Touch and Not

Feel Look and Not See

------

Vision is the Process of reacting to what one sees!
------
Once vision is understood and it's position is practiced for each target (golf, tennis, shooting, etc.) scores consistency will improve.
------
Vision is the net sum of many components required to provide efficient seeing and enhance performance.

VISION CONTROLS WINNING

 

• Vision is one of the basic sports ingredients required for winning.

• The visual system is the trigger mechanism which determines the right time.

• The eyes manage the body. They orchestrate the motor muscular movements (head, hands, and feet) to the target.

• When Visual input (centering) is garbled, the neurological responds of the computerized brain is to choke; the yipes, filch and/or miss.

• When the eyes are not centered correctly; fatigue or breakdown, performance is affected

• Most errors, mistakes and misses (the hands and feet) are triggered through faulty visual decisions.

FAULTY CENTERING IS THE PRIMARY REASON FOR A SLUMP

• The first check in a slump should be eye'position.

• Apprehension, fear of winning, temporary insecurity in every sport is followed with inadequate eye position. The visual signal to muscle movement becomes confused.

• The eyes are the final position for winning. Therefore, the first position to breakdown in losing

. THE EYE LOOKS WHERE WE TELL IT TO LOOK

• Vision is movement. It responds. It acts. It fatigues.

The small maculae (20/20) has little value without adequate peripheral (court) vision.

• One must utilize court vision to quickly recognize, locate and direct the 20/20 to the impact zone of the target.

• The so called perfect eyes (20/20 and binocular skills) will not function at top level performance until taught and trained: what, where, how, and when to react.

• The alignment of the eye to the target must be done with pinpoint accuracy.

• The athlete can be told, taught and coached eye position, rarely, though, is it ever a part of the rigid practice session.

 

CENTERING COMMITMENT

• Once centered, the eyes must stay in position until contact with the impact zone is complete.

• Once centering is committed to the target (golf, Tennis or shooting) any visual shift in position will cause errors.

• Visual limbo, lack of attention, visual float, will cause chokes and/or erratic movements.

•Any degree of variance in visual position will cause an error in striking the point of impact squarely.

CONCENTRATION

• Concentration means "PAY ATTENTION".

• We concentrate with the eyes and their visual system.

• When readied and in position to swing one must concentrate and think only of eye position.

• "One can only do one thing at a time" J. Nicklaus.

• Since the eyes in all sports are the final position before movement of motion, think EYES, think SMALL.

• Don't think head, hands or feet

THINK EYES

GOOD SHOOTING

Good shooting happens when:

• Head down on gun stock with eyes in line with rib.

• Eyes out to target, not on gun rib or sights.

• Locate target with eyes before you move your gun.

• Follow through after the shot.

• Do eye exercises and practice your shooting...
