Visual Reaction Time
The pitcher releases the ball and you swing...a little late and you hit a weak foul down the line...or worse you miss the ball completely. Or, maybe you just can't quite return that tennis serve. You need to improve your visual reaction time, or the speed with which your brain interprets and reacts to your opponent's action.

Stand with your back to a friend. Have that person carefully throw a baseball or football and yell "now." When you hear the yell, turn around, find the ball and try to catch it. If you do this repeatedly, you can train your brain to interpret and react faster.
