Nike Strobe -- Any one used this yet?

by Mike Lednovich » Wed Apr 29, 2009 9:35 am

Our fitness instructors sent info on this program with the offer of a free demo. Anyone out there have experience with this product/method? What are your thoughts?

What is Nike Strobe™?
Nike Strobe™ is a training product that can help enhance sensory skills. It does
this by taking away varying amounts of visual information that you use to make
decisions about when and where to react, forcing an athlete to become more
efficient with the information you are given. It is a powerful tool to force you to
keep their eyes on the ball.

How is Nike Strobe™ used for training?
Nike Strobe™ can be integrated into traditional training drills. The training
strategy is to first do a drill without the Nike Strobe™, followed by the same drill
wearing the Nike Strobe™ at increasingly challenging levels, and lastly repeating
the drill without the Nike Strobe™.
Strobes can be implemented with drills such as catching, kicking, striking or
batting and into exercises such as agility, balance, and coordination.
What are the benefits of training with Nike Strobe™?
It slows the game down and makes the once challenging tasks seem much
easier. The Nike Strobe™ also trains the following skills:
Focus – keeping your eyes “on the ball” through the completion of a task
Timing – accurate and precise timing of a specific reaction.
Visualization – accurate tracking of an object in the mind’s eye
Quickness - quick and accurate execution of a movement
Peripheral vision – greater awareness of your surroundings
Balance – your ability to keep your feet
