SUMMARY:Effective Visual Performance Assessments For Team Sports - Dr. Graham Erickson
DESCRIPTION:Register\n\nEffective Visual Performance Assessments for Team Sports \nPresented by:\nDr. Graham Erickson \nDescription: \nSuccess in team sports depends on much more than physical skill and athletic ability. Visual performance plays a critical role in how athletes process information\, make decisions\, track moving targets\, anticipate play development\, and execute under pressure. However\, identifying which visual skills truly impact performance—and how to assess them effectively—remains a challenge for many clinicians. \nIn this engaging and practical lecture\, Dr. Graham Erickson will explore evidence-based approaches to evaluating visual performance in team sport athletes. Participants will gain insight into the visual demands common to a variety of team sports and learn how to select and interpret assessment tools that provide meaningful information for athletes\, coaches\, and sports medicine professionals. The presentation will address both traditional clinical measures and performance-based testing strategies\, highlighting their strengths\, limitations\, and real-world applications. \nDrawing on more than three decades of experience working with collegiate\, Olympic\, and professional athletes\, Dr. Erickson will share clinical pearls\, case examples\, and practical recommendations for integrating sports vision assessments into everyday practice. Attendees will leave with a stronger understanding of how to identify visual performance strengths and weaknesses and how assessment findings can guide individualized intervention and training programs. \nLearning Objectives\nUpon completion of this course\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe the key visual performance skills that contribute to success in team sports.\nIdentify assessment methods that effectively evaluate sport-relevant visual abilities.\nDifferentiate between traditional clinical testing and performance-based sports vision assessments.\nInterpret assessment results to support athlete performance enhancement and clinical decision-making.\nApply practical strategies for incorporating visual performance evaluations into sports vision practice.\n\nBio \nDr. Graham Erickson is a professor at Pacific University College of Optometry. He currently teaches the Vision Therapy\, Strabismus/Amblyopia and Sports Vision courses\, and is the coordinator of the Pediatric Optometry and Vision Therapy/Rehabilitation residency at Pacific University.
