Summary

Ryan Coleman-Williams, a freshman Alabama wide receiver, struggled with drops in his sophomore season. Tests showed no vision issues, but he admitted he couldn’t see the ball. A head trainer used virtual reality technology, originally for elderly patients, to improve his binocular motor control. The program helped him stop dropping passes. The system tracks objects at varying speeds to train eye coordination.


Our Reading

The habit gets a new name.

Football players need better vision, but only if it’s sold as tech.

Old problems get new fixes, but the same old results.

Training wheels for eyes, not brains.

Seeing is believing—until it’s just a headset.
