California: Hot Start For Davidson, Yucaipa - MaxPreps Articles: Wednesday, April 15, 2009 By: Bill Dickens MaxPreps.com

"Yucaipa USC signee Matt Davidson batting .524 with 19 RBI in leading Yucaipa to national ranking; Whether Yucaipa’s Matt Davidson is going to carry through with his commitment to play baseball at USC or be wooed into the professional ranks by a handsome signing bonus remains to be seen. No matter what the 6-foot-4, 225-pound right-hander decides, Davidson is a nugget. It’s just a matter of how long it takes him to polish his game. For sure, he is off to a great start. Davidson has driven the Thunderbirds to a 14-1 mark and a national ranking (No. 23 in this week's MaxPreps Xcellent 25). He is batting at a .524 clip (22 for 42) with three home runs and 19 RBI. As a pitcher, Davidson’s numbers are arguably more glittering. In eight appearances, he has posted three wins and four saves. He has not allowed an earned run and owns 24 strikeouts in 16 2/3 innings. Not surprisingly, the Trojans have Davidson ticketed as a two-way player – pitching and playing third base. Davidson, who has been clocked in the high 80s, has been selected to participate in the Aflac All-American High School Baseball Classic at Dodger Stadium in August."

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.
