Japanese midfielder Reo Hatate of the Scottish club Celtic performs a remarkable and different warm-up routine before each game.
Idman.Biz reports that Hatate trains his vision, which he considers one of the most important aspects of football, before even touching the ball.
He performs a simple but effective visual warm-up by directing his gaze up, down, right, and left. This method activates neural pathways, giving the player several important advantages.
Such training helps him see the field faster, make more accurate decisions under pressure, react more quickly to movements around him, and also improves body balance and spatial orientation.
By training his vision primarily, Reo Hatate prepares his brain to process information at game speed, which directly affects his effectiveness on the field.
