Sportvue

ice hockey players are taught skills such as stickhandling, shooting, passing, and skating at a very young age. however, young players have difficulty transferring these skills from practice to an actual game. this is because practices do not have the in-game pressure or the fast pace of games. as a result, players control the puck while looking down at it during practice and are unable to control the puck with only their peripheral vision during a game. sportvue llc’s primary product is a sleek earpiece that uses a proprietary algorithm to detect when the player is looking down at the puck during off-ice practice. this earpiece will beep when the player looks down at the puck to remind him to lift his head up. after repeated use, the player will be accustomed to controlling the puck with his head up.
