Green Bay Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings knew exactly what needed his fellow recipient for Christmas: technology to help them catch the football-not that they need too much help in Green Bay.
As noted in my last article Sports Illustrated (9 January print issue), Nike SPARQ Training performance the senses have NFL players switching to technology to improve their vision in an effort to game performance.
The first step in the process of sending athletes through 10 sports-relevant visual and sensory test in a giant touch screen kiosks that measures the ability of the athlete in everything from hand-eye coordination for decision-making for reaction time. After undergoing the test of the hippest around eyes, each of the athletes get instant reports on their performance, all in relation to the data of their peers. Jennings said he was pleased to find he scored strongly in categories, but many others have used the data to show a definite specific strengths and weaknesses.
Using that information, athletes and coaches alike can then correlate the data into a training program, driven by the use of Nike steam strobe feature glasses-liquid crystal display the lens clouds cast a vision in the patterns of 100 milliseconds, forcing athletes to more intense focus on the main task at hand: spy on the quarterback, found the hole, the open recipient or, in the case of Jennings, just catch the ball.
“Open Your Eyes to the level they will not have to open,” said Jennings. “You are sui for everything around You.”
