Honesty note: the real start uses a gun (auditory). EYEGOFAST measures reaction to a visual signal. This page focuses on reaction speed and control, without claiming to reproduce the gun.
Your eyes and brain train like any muscle in the body: the more you work them, the better they get. Taking in visual information is decisive in every sport, even where it seems secondary.
