I specialise in
visual
performance and motor skill development (eye/hand/body coordination). With
30% of the brain devoted to vision and 80 – 90% of all information taken
in being visual, it is particularly relevant to sport. The good news is
that visual performance and motor skill development is highly trainable
and Crazy Catch is fantastic for developing these skills.
I have been using Crazy Catch with World
Cup Winners, Olympians and elite athletes since 2001. Crazy Catch is a
complete
convenient
package - in
a short space of time a high
level of training
is achieved across
a range of skill areas including:
Eye / Hand / Body
coordination skills
Speed of eye response
Eye movement skills (as used
in ball tracking and reading)
Peripheral awareness skills
Ability to focus
Visual concentration skills
The Crazy Catch
is a must for any elite athlete
The unique insane side with the
random ball return
- this is the key Crazy Catch
feature that provides versatility for
elite athletes.
Ongoing development and training ideas -
Crazy Catch
has developed a range of Crazy Card
activities, featuring points from me,
to optimise training sessions and provide solutions for many training
situations.
One Minute Challenges - another
excellent concept that I use with all the athletes I work with. It is
critical to measure performance and
provide a
challenge.
crazycatch.com
provides additional motivation and support, allowing challenges to measure
their performance against themselves, their team mates and leading
athletes throughout the world.
New
Crazy Catch
VisionBalls.
VisionBalls provide an excellent training cue to assist early ball
flight-path detection and ball tracking, in the critical catching / ball
striking zone.
The
Insane Fun
Factor
It is
important that
training
is fun and challenging - this was certainly the case with the successful World Cup winning England and Springbok rugby teams I
worked with.
Elite
athletes
or children
alike agree that
Crazy Catch insane
= fun.
Crazy Catch
for Children
While much of my work focuses on elite
athletes,
I do
research looking the development of Visual
Performance and Coordination Skills with youngsters. Vision & Motor Skill
development play such a large part of overall brain development with
children. Eye / hand / body coordination are highly trainable. For me it
is simple - if
I had my choice,
all children would have access to Crazy Catch to develop these skills and
create pathways to a healthier and more active lifestyle.
For me Crazy Catch is a complete training
package. It is highly applicable to World Champions and at the same time
to young ones starting out on their first catching and throwing
experiences. Train hard and have fun.
