NIKE has created a special training tool for athletes dubbed “Vapor Strobes.” These glasses flash microscopic electric charges, blocking vision in 100-millisecond patterns. As you run drills, the lenses flicker between clear and opaque; these distractions force you to anticipate what is coming and focus on your task. This training helps you see things more quickly and accurately…like a running back finding an open hole, a quarterback spotting a free receiver, or a wide receiver watching the ball come into his hands.

“By giving them less information, we force athletes to utilize what we give them more efficiently. It’s essentially stress training on the sensory system.”
