169 - Going Blind: Are there Benefits to Training without Vision? Feb 04, 2020

Show notes

Does training blind under non-vision conditions result in improved performance when the athlete returns to full vision conditions? Does it allow a performer to become more sensitive to information from other senses (e.g. proprioception and audition) or is learning specific to the conditions of practice?
