Key Performance Indicators in Sports
include
Dynamic Visual Acuity
If you are playing a sport like
racquetball, tennis, soccer or hockey, it is important that you be
able to clearly see objects while you and/or the objects are moving
fast. Without good dynamic visual acuity, you are going to have a
difficult time in sports like these.
Visual
Concentration
When you commit an error on an easy ground ball
or miss a short putt, it may be that you are distracted by things
that are happening around you. Our eyes normally react to anything
that happens in our field of vision... spectators, other
participants or even the wind blowing leaves on an overhanging
branch. Visual Concentration is the ability to screen out these
distractions and stay focused on the ball or the
target.
Eye
Tracking
When you are playing any sport with a ball or a
fast moving opponent, it is important that you be able to follow
objects without much head motion. Eye tracking helps you maintain
better balance and react to the situation more
quickly.
Eye-Hand-Body
Coordination
Eye-Hand-Body Coordination is how your hands,
feet and body and other muscles respond to the information gathered
through your eyes. It is an important part of most sports because
it affects both timing and body control.
Visual
Memory
When you are pushing a fast break up the
basketball court, leading a rush up the ice in hockey, or catching
the big wave amid a crowd of surfers, you need to process and
remember a fast moving, complex picture of people and things. This
is called visual memory. The athlete with good visual memory always
seems to be in the right place at the right time.
Visualization
Picture yourself hitting a perfect drive…long
and right down the middle of the fairway. Believe it or not,
picturing yourself doing it can actually help you do it.
Visualization is the skill that enables you to see yourself
performing well in your "mind's eye" while your eyes are seeing and
concentrating on something else, usually the ball. Using scanning
techniques, researchers have found that the same areas of the brain
that light up during performance also do so when you visualize the
performance.
Peripheral
Vision
When a soccer player sees a teammate out of the
corner of his or her eye, the player is using his
peripheral vision. Because much of what happens in sports does not
happen directly in front of you, it's important to increase your
ability to see action to the side without having to turn your
head.
Visual Reaction
Time
The pitcher releases the ball and you swing…a
little late and you hit a weak foul down the line…or worse you miss
the ball completely. Or, maybe you just can't quite return that
tennis serve. You need to improve your visual reaction time, or the
speed with which your brain interprets and reacts to your
opponent's action.
Depth
Perception
In
racket sports, depth perception enables you to quickly and
accurately judge the distance between yourself, the ball, your
opponents, teammates, boundary lines and other objects. When you
are shooting or hunting, if you consistently over or underestimate
the distance to your target, poor depth perception may be at
fault.
