Episode #99
Everything in training assumes that cleaner is better. Cleaner mechanics, cleaner reps, cleaner video, cleaner data. For most of what we do, that is correct. For the visual system, it is sometimes exactly backward. In...
Episode #98
You jump for the ball. A defender moves into your peripheral vision. A teammate calls for the pass. Your original plan is gone, and you make a new decision in mid-air before you even land. What started that movement...
Episode #97
An athlete’s advantage was never just about sharp eyesight. Two new studies, from very different corners of science, land on the same point Dr. Laby has made throughout his career: performance depends not only on what...
Episode #96
This week Dr. Laby hands listeners his own scorecard. Sitting at his desk with nothing but a laptop camera and a piece of software he has been building and rebuilding for weeks, he runs himself through two tasks on his...
Episode #95
A new 2026 study in the journal Vision (Clutter & Fogt) put 15 baseball and softball batters through the same pitch, tracked two different ways: once with a real partial swing, once with no swing at all, just watching...

Episode #94
Seventy-three percent of coaches are now incorporating visual training into their programs — a number that should feel like a victory after thirty years of Dr. Laby making the case that vision is trainable and...
Episode #93
The cleaner a sports vision experiment gets, the less it looks like the sport — a tension Dr. Laby has wrestled with for thirty years. A lab can control lighting down to the lux and measure fixations to the millisecond...
Episode #92
Two meta-analyses asked the same question about visual search behavior and got opposite results — because the question was never sport-general to begin with. Summary For 30 years the field has argued about whether...
Episode #90
The World Cup coverage couldn't stop talking about Almada and Messi "seeing the game before it happens." Broadcasters reached for neuroscience and a fair amount of magic to explain it. What they were actually describing...
Episode #89
The United States faces Belgium in the Round of 16 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup — a rematch twelve years in the making. Dr. Laby uses the match as a lens to explore the single visual behavior that most consistently...
Episode #88
Walk into any Major League spring training facility and you'll find a technician holding up a Snellen eye chart — the same one from 1862 — and clearing players for the season based on static acuity. The problem: that...
Episode #87
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is just days old and it has already delivered more visual drama than most tournaments produce in their entirety. Messi broke the all-time World Cup scoring record. Harry Kane converted a retaken...
Episode #86
A new systematic review and meta-analysis in Frontiers of Psychology pooled nine randomized controlled trials and 323 athletes to answer a deceptively simple question: what does stroboscopic visual training actually...
Episode #85
Three extraordinary defensive plays in the first two days of June 2026 — Julio Rodríguez's backspin-defying contested catch, AJ Ewing's full-layout diving snag, and Jorge Barrosa's committed dive on a sharply angled...
Episode #84
<p>Which visual skills actually predict athletic performance? It's the question I've spent my career chasing, and Frontiers in Physiology just published the most comprehensive answer yet.</p><p>Yang and colleagues...
Episode #83
<p>There's a moment in every high-speed sport where the difference between elite and merely good comes down to where and when an athlete looks. A new study in the Journal of Vision gives us the most complete picture yet...
Episode #82
<p>MLB's challenge system isn't just correcting calls — it's measuring human visual performance for the first time.</p><p>55%.</p><p>That's the overturn rate on challenged ball-strike calls under MLB's new Automated...
Episode #81
<p>You've probably seen them — the futuristic-looking sunglasses that flicker between clear and opaque while an NFL receiver runs routes or a college infielder fields ground balls. Stroboscopic training glasses have...
Episode #80
<p>On April 23, 2026, Nature ran a cover image of a robotic arm mid-swing. The system behind it was Sony AI's Project Ace — the first known autonomous machine to consistently beat professional table tennis players under...
