Do you need to improve your ball tracking?

Not watching the ball though to contact is one of the biggest causes of unforced errors, but you probably knew that already.

The problem is, it’s surprisingly hard to track the ball effectively.

This is because it requires a highly functioning visual system, great coordination and a highly functioning vestibular system.

The vestibular system is your balance system that lives in the inner ear.

It performs a number of important roles in terms of movement and performance, but one of its most important jobs is keeping your eyes looking at the target when you move your head.

When players struggle with ball tracking I nearly always find that they have issues with the vestibular system.

Luckily it’s easy to train doing exercises like I’m doing in the video.

I’m holding a stick with letters on, but you can use a business card or anything else with letters on it.

Your goal is to keep your eyes locked on one of the letters and keep your nose lined up with the target as you move your head.

The faster you can go, keeping your nose lined up and still be able to see the visual target clearly the better.

If the target is blurry, start more slowly and build up.
