Neuro Visual Training for Sports Performance Enhancement: Peripheral Vision

Peripheral Vision

Dr. Joseph F. Clark, PhD Part 1 of a 3-part series on Neuro Visual Training for Sports Performance Enhancement. Part 1 will be focused on Peripheral Vision.

The coach says, "use your peripheral vision", but how do I train peripheral vision...?

Following this webinar, participants will be able to:
-Define the differences between central and peripheral vision.
-List testing methods for assessing peripheral vision.
-List the training methods for improving peripheral vision.
