Alexa Glatch was a nice surprise for the U.S. Fed Cup team, winning both singles matches this past weekend.

Congratulations to SlowTheGameDown Visual Performance Athlete Alexa Glatch
Alexa has among the best vision and use of her eyes I have ever evaluated and trained. She has been very receptive to taking the vision side of the game seriously and has been consistently making efforts to getting better. Her past and future success is due to her dedication to improve in all aspects of the game.

Bonnie D. Ford: U.S. Fed Cup team pulls off miracle win - ESPN:

....Fernandez proudly saluted all her players but dubbed teenager Alexa Glatch the MVP for winning both her singles matches against top-50 players and allowing them only three games apiece in the process.

"She played beautifully, so composed," said Fernandez, who chose Glatch to play over the other up-and-coming U.S. player on the roster, Melanie Oudin. "We're trying to build and get the new generation on the right track. It's a little bit of a bonus to win while you're doing that."

Glatch, the tall Californian who is closing in on the top 100 (ranked 114th coming into the weekend) thanks to several recent titles on the lower-level ITF circuit, said she felt largely unfazed by the occasion even as she realized "how special and important it really is."

"I was able to play well and win those matches [against No. 29 Benesova, currently the country's top player, and No. 48 Petra Kvitova], which was good, 'cause we needed them pretty badly," said Glatch, who gets back to the grind in a $50,000 tournament in Charlottesville, Va., this week.....

Carlos Quentin is all about pursuing perfection for the Chicago White Sox

Quentin intensely driven to succeed

....It's the desire to drive that white ball which makes Quentin an anomaly to the people who cover his team, who play with him and who oppose him. The intensity with which Quentin plays is what drove him to an American League MVP-type season last year, and it is also what ended that campaign prematurely.......

....Leading up to the game Quentin is constantly moving, shadow-swinging his way through the clubhouse, lifting weights and studying a computer program that trains his eyes, a muscle exercise he does before every game. His emotions are all wrapped up into preparing for the opponent. .........

Carlos Quentin has been using SlowTheGameDown training products since his playing days at Stanford. I never met him but he still continues to use www.SportsEyeSite.com and 3D Depth Perception Trainer to train his eyes prior to every game. Are you also training your eyes with SportsEyeSite software and the 3D Depth Perception Trainer? IF NOT, NOW IS THE TIME! You can order today by going directly to the www.SlowTheGameDown.com site.

In 1971, I had the great pleasure of working with Ewing Kaufman and the Kansas City Royals. One of the first players sent to me was George Brett. This lead to my interaction over the next 30+ years with various athletes. As I reflect on some of the greats, I am happy to see and be a part of some great former Royals. Not only George Brett but players such as Willie Wilson, Frank White. I recently recieved 3 calls from 3 former Royal who was very appreciatvie of the work we did in 2000. These players were none other than Carlos Beltran, Jeff Reboulet and Mike Sweeney.

Heard about Vision Training but don’t know where to go ?

Heard about Vision Training but don’t know where to go ?

SportsEyeSite is the answer. Almost everything your player does starts with their eyes and the visual information they gather. Their eyes and what they see are the primary way they access information - 80% of the billions of cells in their brain have a visual connection.

Learning to gather the right visual information and proc­ess it efficiently can pay big dividends on the ­field.

The SportsEyeSite training regimen increases the athlete’s ability to gather and process complex infor­mation quickly. The bottom line is athletes are able to collect more information, recognize visual cues earlier and make better decisions faster – hence their performance improves.

Imagine the increase in performance that results from being able to recognize the type of pitch being thrown within the first three feet of it leaving the pitchers hand, or the direction a tennis serve will take before it leaves the opponents racquet or the direction a running back will take before he takes his first step. For these same reasons defensive play will improve also.

The SportsEyeSite training package contains everything your players need to raise their visual game to its full potential The training package challenges all 14 eye muscles with the multiple forms of eye movements essential for athletic success, including
· Saccades (quick switches) – needed to see important details ,
· Pursuits (smooth tracking) – greatly assists eye-hand coordination.
· Vergences (focusing the fourteen muscles for clarity) – essential to maintain depth per­ception when the athlete, the ball or their opponent is in motion,
· Fixation (the ability to stop all eye movements and look at one specific spot) – required to gather the detailed information necessary from a specific visual cue andrelease (the ability to move on to the next fixation spot) – crucial for allowing your attention to move forward to the next task.

The SportsEyeSite develops and enhances visual information processing skills that are the guiding stimulus for performance response and all the exercises are designed to en­hance the foundational building blocks that effect performance on the field.

The role of vision in sports can’t be ignored. The body won’t move until directed by the brain and the brain can’t engage until the eyes see something to initiate action. Just as physical conditioning and practice is necessary to train muscles and refine body move­ments for peak performance, vision training is needed to fine-tune the eyes for optimum achievement.
