\"Vision<\/figure>\n

Good vision is perhaps one of the most underrated skills any sports professional possesses – yet it’s one of the easiest and most effective ways to improve performance.<\/p>\n

Whether sport is a serious pursuit or a hobby, there are a couple of quick ways to improve your experience through better vision.<\/p>\n

Clearer vision = better performance<\/h2>\n
\"Clearer<\/figure>\n

Clear vision is closely linked to sports performance, which is why it’s important to have regular eye examinations<\/a>, regardless of whether you wear glasses or not. Your optician checks that your eyes are in good health and confirms whether your vision can be corrected. If you haven’t already, it’s worth asking your optician about contact lenses<\/a>. For those with a competitive streak, having clear vision can make all the difference between winning and losing.<\/p>\n

Find out which is your dominant eye<\/h2>\n

Most people know which is their dominant hand, but many don’t realise they also have a dominant eye. By identifying your dominant eye, you can position yourself for better hand-eye coordination and improved aim.<\/p>\n

If you play tennis, golf, cricket, or any precision sport, try this test – a simple tilt of the head could give you that extra edge:<\/p>\n
