We know how to train the physical aspects, but what about the boxer's ability to really watch and read opponents?

Some may call it, 'Ring IQ.'

Today I speak to Dr Zoe Wimshurst of Performance Vision about how as coaches we can understand more about the visual system and how that impacts upon performance.

We talk about how we can support where boxers are looking, how the eye works in terms of spotting cues as well as understanding if there are any physical limitations with your boxer's sight!

In the podcast, Zoe shares a tool around how to test your boxers to see if they are one eye dominant and how that affects performance. Here's how...

Create a triangle with your forefingers and thumbs. With both of your eyes open, center this triangle on an object in the distance like a door knob or a wall clock. Close your right eye. If the object remains centered, then your left eye (the eye that is open) is your dominant eye.

We then go on to talk about how if this is more prominent in coach education, we can have accelerated impact on performance.
