Bryan Habana being tested by Sherryle Calder.

Sherryle Calder is an eye specialist in hot demand. She has developed a program for elite athletes that increases your peripheral vision and the speed at which your hands and eyes move together. Her program she developed is called Eye Gym.

She has been around for a while and it is nothing new, but then the players she has worked with have praised her for improving their game and skills. She first appeared on the scene working with the South African Rugby team, but has traveled the globe aiding sportsmen from virtually every sporting code.

Habana about to collect the intercept in the semi final of the 2007 World Cup. He says her training program was instrumental in this try. Eddie Jones saw the huge difference she had made and she has been with the England team right up until last week.

The list is like a who is who from the sporting world. England,Australia and New Zealand Rugby teams the English and Australian Cricket team, Tottenham football team (maybe not that one), Ernie Els (golf),Miami Dolphins , Formula One and a list of tennis players. Bottas uses the training program before he goes out to race as he says it makes his thinking that much sharper.

Working with Eernie Els the week before the British Open which he won that year.
Eddie Jones first heard about her when he was working with the springbok rugby team and when he became England coach he employed her services. She explained to the players that today's generation are losing the concept of distance with their eyes due to excessive use of looking at our phones and computers.

She noticed one of the English players was dropping on average 25% of the balls that was kicked to him. He was struggling with the distance and space and after completing her program improved considerably. The english players are banned from looking at their phones and devices on match day as it does interfere with the training. Her program lets you spot things far quicker than what the average person does and makes for quicker reaction times with the hands. I can see it benefiting certain sports as hand eye co ordination is the key.

This subject has been raised and made aware to most of the modern sportsmen of today. I had no idea that looking at your phone screen made that much of a difference to hand eye co ordination gauging distance and depth. Interesting to know though and maybe that is why it is not advisable to text and drive lol.

Seems like she would be well employed by some of the baseball teams out there as well. Think about how small that ball is and how hard it must be to catch it as an outfielder. Or hit it as a batter. This was a really interesting post. I didn't know about this lady, but I think it makes a lot of sense and the results pretty much speak for themselves!
