Shownotes

The provided texts explore the concept of ocular dominance in sports, questioning its significance and reliability. A YouTube video by Dr. Laby critiques the validity of various eye dominance tests, citing inconsistencies and a lack of correlation with athletic performance in sports requiring binocular vision. Supporting research papers further challenge the concept, suggesting that what is often measured may be eye preference rather than true dominance, and highlighting the minimal impact of eye dominance on the performance of baseball players. The consensus leans towards the importance of binocular vision, emphasizing the need for both eyes to work together for optimal athletic performance in many sports.
