The Maximizing Vision Podcast is where sports medicine practitioners come to understand what visual performance really is — and why 20/20 isn't the goal. Hosted by four optometrists who've spent their careers embedded with professional teams, US military programs, and academic medicine, each episode explores the clinical science of dynamic vision, cognitive-motor processing, and the interprofessional work of building peak athletic performance.

If you're an athletic trainer, sports medicine physician, strength coach, sport psychologist, or clinician working with athletes at any level, this show is for you. Drs. Cunningham, Horn, Smithson, and Nanasy — all past chairs of the American Optometric Association's Sports Vision leadership — bring rigorous science, real clinical stories, and honest conversation about what practitioners need to know.

Because vision isn't just what athletes see. It's what they do with what they see.
