Eyes on the Game: Inside Sports Vision with Hockey Goalies


Listen Later

In this episode, we dive deep into the fascinating world of sports vision with Dr. Riyad, who shares his journey working with elite hockey goalies and expanding into pickleball training. We explore what sports vision is, how it helps athletes improve reaction speed by 10-15%, and why peripheral vision is the anchor of your entire visual system.

Riyad reveals the common misconceptions coaches have about vision training, explains the difference between "soft" and "hard" vision, and shares memorable stories from working with athletes—including a goalie drafted to the Vancouver Canucks. We also discuss his new virtual sports vision program that ships training kits worldwide, from Florida to the Czech Republic.

Plus, we introduce our new segment "Highlight Reel," where we call back to memorable moments from previous guests like Alexis's passionate approach to emergency patients and Ben's inspiring commitment to helping others—even taking a $30,000/year job teaching in Nicaragua after residency.
