Sports Vision Services: Better visual skills = More wins
To excel in sports, considerable attention is paid to modifiable factors such as coaching, nutrition and fitness, but one key element often overlooked is VISION … 20/20 is not enough!
Studies have shown that elite athletes have superior vision compared to other athletes. They see better, their peripheral vision is wider, their depth perception is better, they have an ability to change focus faster, their eye-hand/foot/body coordination is better, and they anticipate better. One thing is clear: Better vision = Better performance.
Sports Vision Enhancement
Sports Vision is performance-oriented, comprehensive vision care, used by many professional athletes, as well as U.S. Olympic athletes system-wide. It encompasses assessment, correction, protection and enhancement through vision training of the athlete, with the goal of improved performance on the court, in school and elsewhere!
At Gold Coast Vision Performance, Dr. Hanna and her team provide these coveted services to players all over New York. Dr. Anne Hanna is a neuro-optometrist, fellowship-trained and board certified in neuro/developmental optometry and vision therapy and is the exclusive Sport Vision provider of The John McEnroe Tennis Academy.
Professionally, she has worked with athletes of all ages and skill levels, with a particular focus on helping amateur athletes become elite players and continuing to further enhance the visual skills of athletes at the professional level.

“To his many patients, Dr. Fishman is a miracle worker.”—Jane Brody, health columnist, NY Times
“… a Thomas Edison of yoga therapy.”—Pulitzer-prize winning author William Broad.
Loren Fishman, MD, (oxon.) is the author of 10 books, 90 medical journal articles, a past president of the New York Society of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, a NY Magazine Best Doctor. He is a world-recognized specialist in shoulder injury, back pain, knee pain and other orthopedic problems.
Overuse, overhead, asymmetrical. For tennis players with shoulder injuries, Dr. Fishman has a “Magic Bullet.” His peer-reviewed, prize-winning cure for the pain and disability of rotator cuff problems immediately puts players back on the courts. Patients get complete relief in one office visit, without months of physical therapy or expensive surgery.
The treatment, dubbed “Triangular Forearm Support,” can be done against a wall, in a chair or with pure yoga. It has been proven more than 90 percent effective.
Dr. Fishman is an old-fashioned practitioner who gets to know his patients and spends as much time with them as they need. “Finding the diagnosis leads to the right treatment,” he says.
“My husband participated—before treatment he could not lift arm above midline. Five minutes later, full range of motion and zero pain (RC tear, bursitis and A/C joint arthritis),” says Kim Kohler-Lovejoy.
Says Ken Greenburg: “Rotator cuff treatment certainly worked for me and I recommend others for the process.”

Are you looking for a mental coach that “gets you?”
Someone that doesn’t talk psycho-babble, but listens to what you have to say? Someone who recognizes you’re not a robot, but rather an individual person with a game and style different than others. Someone who will help you W.I.N. (What’s Important Now), compete better and focus on what you can control? Someone who values you as a person, and empowers you to bring your authentic heart, energy and spirit to the game. Someone who wants to know your big “Why” for playing, your inspirations, and your goals. In short, someone who cares about you as a person, not just an athlete.
As a mental training coach, Rob Polishook works with competitive tennis players and athletes in all sports from teenage years to the professional level helping them to be their best on and off the court. Rob’s internationally-published book, Tennis Inside the Zone: 32 Mental Training Workouts for Champions (available on Amazon), is an interactive book which empowers the athlete to answer questions about real life challenging mental experiences all players face. Some tops include: Why can’t I play matches like I practice? How do I get the mental edge? How can I regain my focus, and how can I play in the present moment?
Rob presents internationally and nationally at USTA, USPTA and ITA events. He has been quoted in the New York Times, Sports Illustrated, Tennis Channel and his work has been featured on ESPN’s 30 for 30 documentary series. He is an author of two books and teaches at Seton Hall University.
