Philip Brandon knows what every coach and player looks for: separation from the competition.
With that in mind, Brandon is preparing to open Maximum Vision Performance clinic.
'Athletes train their bodies for strength, speed, endurance--all those things--so they think if they see 20/20, they're good to go,' said Brandon, who will continue to operate Brandon Eye Clinic. 'But you can train your visual system, too. This is the next level in sports that's going to cause separation in players.'
MVP will be located at The Shoppes at Har-Ber Lakes in Springdale, and Oct. 1 is the target opening date. Linda Robinson will help Brandon in the new endeavor. Both underwent a one-week certification process in Ottawa, Canada.
Brandon said the idea behind sports vision training was to 'measure and improve a person's ability to convert visual input into appropriate and timely physical responses.'
At MVP, that will be done through the use of Dynavision electronic boards designed to improve hand-eye coordination, depth perception, reaction time and peripheral awareness, among other things.
MVP has two Dynavision boards in its 1,500-SF space, with room to add another three. Ideally, clients go through a five-day evaluation process, during which they're tested and evaluated for strengths and weaknesses. They are then put on a 10- to 12-week program.
