"I feel as though I generated more plays simply from being one step ahead , where that wasn't always the case last year. I use the game day tool as a part of my routine every game day and I find that to be very helpful to stimulate my vision before games.”

“After using Vizual Edge Trainer about 3 times a week for about 9 months now, I have noticed a great improvement in my hand eye coordination, especially knocking pucks out of mid air and also being able to catch passes a lot better.”
