The current Visual Cues Training (VCT) package is structured for cricket, with a view to expand it to other sports in the future.   

Traditional cricket coaching focuses solely on technique but neglects training of the visual system. VCT provides focused coaching to train pick-up of important visual information such as a bowler’s body language that can assist a batsman to read the type of ball to be delivered. The earlier a player can pick-up cues the earlier decisions can be made providing more time to execute a batting stroke, catch a ball or cause a run-out. The benefit to players is exposure to up to date sports science knowledge.
