Larry Fitzgerald and Vision Training

A friend sent me a link to an article on Arizona Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald, who credits his success in no small part to some vision training he had done as a child, under the direction of his grandfather, optometrist Dr. Robert Johnson.

The article is located here. It speaks for itself, and even quotes Joan Vickers, PhD, of the University of Calgary and leading researcher in the area of the Quiet Eye, explaining how Fitzgerald uses his eyes to capture data that his brain decodes to help him catch a pass.

He made some amazing plays in this past Sunday's Super Bowl, though the Cardinals fell to the Steelers in the final minutes.
