"I was lucky enough to have the chance to work with 'Dr. B.' and Gary this summer on my sports vision training. I am an ice hockey goalie that is always looking for an opportunity to get the extra edge over the competition. I train all summer long on the ice and lifting weights to try to improve my game, but I never considered the possibility that sports vision training could actually improve my game before this summer.

    Both (of them) helped me improve my reaction time and peripheral vision while using their program. After the first few sessions I began to see my improvements in my vision training transfer to improvements on the ice. I began to move to a rebound quicker because I could find the puck faster with my eyes.

    The puck also began to slow down after it was shot and I found myself tracking pucks better. On backdoor passes I found myself seeing the shooter with my peripheral vision and then being able to react to the pass. I know that sports vision training has helped to improve my game."

"I think it has really helped me academically more than anything, especially with my reading.  Unfortunately a few days prior to our first game I broke my hand and was out up until Christmas, so it has taken some time to get back
into the swing of things. I think the training has helped me to do so with my better reaction time and vision on the ice."

 Dear Bob & Gary,

     When I sat in your office last year reading the article about your new venture into Sports Vision Training I never anticipated how it would affect my son on so many levels.     Being a very visual person myself I immediately understood the concept of how honing the visual skills could positively affect an athlete and his game.

     What I did not anticipate was the actual improvement on his ability to focus in so many other aspects of his life in general.

     This new found focus skill has transferred into his school work and has improved his grades.    Recently we have even noticed that the SVT skills Dylan learned while in the program have also had a positive affect on his driving in the form of being so visually in tune with what is happening around you in all 360 degrees.    Peripheral vision acuteness having the most impact in this case, not to mention reaction time.

     During the first few weeks of the SVT exercises both Dylan and I were noticing differences in his “length of focus” ability.     I actually did some of the exercises with him and was very surprised to find that the vision I had taken for granted every day had MORE to offer than what I had been using it for.    It is somewhat of a cliché’, but I truly found it to be an “eye opening experience”.   Dylan describes it as his eyes are now trained to see things more quickly, the result is that it slows everything down.

     As you know, Dylan came to you with an already ingrained passion for the games of hockey and lacrosse.   As a defensemen he claims that the SVT has allowed him the ability to “see the play” which he attributes to his learned skill of being able to analyze more in less time.  Translated as a spectator, to my husband and I, we see that he has more time to cognitively assess and anticipate where to go with the puck when presented with the opportunity to pass to the forwards.    Passes have become very accurate and his assists (and goals) have increased.

    In his lacrosse game, he plays attack and midfield and has been one of the lead goal scorers for his team.   This past year, just after the training, he was named captain of his JV lacrosse team.  That I attribute to not only his athletic ability, but to his new found confidence in himself largely because of the skills he has learned in your program.

 Thank you both for adding so much to Dylan’s future in so many ways.

                As a baseball coach, professional instructor and player for well over thirty-five years, there are some programs that come along every now and then to improve the baseball skills one may already have.  Eye on Performance is one such program that stands out.  It is simply a unique program!

                While most players of any athletic sport wish to improve the necessary skills to become a better player, they do so with repetitive drills, lessons and playing time that focuses on the physical aspect of their sport.  However, Dr. B. and Gary have instituted a program that focuses on the visual aspect of any sport to coincide with those physical abilities an athlete already possesses and it will improve such physical abilities.

                Plain and simple, if you're a baseball player facing an imposing pitcher with various types of pitches, that baseball will now seem larger and slower in order you to become more successful when hitting the ball if you are lucky to have participated in this visual enhancement type of program.  For me and my son who plays baseball, the advantage is simple: “Eye on Performance.”

                I have noticed the difference already when it comes to hitting a ball, fielding a ball, and most importantly, seeing the ball.  As a parent, I have selfish goals in having my son participate in this program.  While most of us dream of seeing their kids play professional baseball, hockey, or whatever choice of your child’s sport, that simply is a long shot at best but not impossible.  My reasoning to help improve my son’s playing abilities via “Eye on Performance” is to hopefully help him achieve an education through his athletic skills that coincide with his good grades as a student.  Sports can only take someone so far, but a good education is priceless.

                Not only will your child’s confidence improve with their athletic endeavors because of “Eye on Performance” but that confidence carries over to all aspects of life including their education.  I hope your child can benefit from this program as mine already has.

    "As a high school baseball coach of forty-three years, I have always placed a premuim on the role that vision plays in the training of my high school players.  Vision training has become a major contributor to the success of a multitude of major leaguers.

    For the past twenty years I have had my players tested in visual acuity.  This standard test enabled me to determine if poor vision was a factor in a player's ability to perform.  My recent association with Eye on Performance has brought my 2008 team to a new level.  Each player was assessed not only in visual acuity, but each player was assessed in depth perception, color contrast, and reaction time.  This comprehensive sports vision test enabled me to make adjustments in a player's style if necessary.

     Positive and excellent results only reinforced my players' confidence level, convincing them that they could "see" the baseball.  This past season the North Reading High School baseball team finished the season at 20-4 and batted a school record .361 as a team.  We owe much of our success to Eye on Performance Sports Vision Training."
