Vision Training;

In high-school, my volleyball coach provided our team with a  visual training vhs. For those of you born after 1992, VHS preceded Mp4's. The tape was well used by me in spite of my greater need of ball handling skills, I used these tapes 2-3 times a week.
The regimen consisted of the following;
1  Tracking a small red dot (ball) swirling in the opposite direction of an Orange and yellow rotating piral.
2  Tracking a white dot on a white grid that would disappear and reappear at a different point on the grid. All the while moving at higher and higher speeds.
3  (Particularly interesting in the area of sports and information processing)  Identifying ever increasingly long numerals series.

I remember there being a tiered level of difficulty that had a time (focal endurance) component. There were also an intensity variable as the tiers progressed. As in, there were faster and faster reaction times required.

To my knowledge, no major certifications include a vision program design module other than the CHEK Institute. If you know better, please comment it so I vs

If anyone has used a similar product please leave your recollections and impressions of your use and if possible what your version was called or could be found.
