Abstract
This paper explores recent research on the key visual behavior necessary for successful motor skill execution known as quiet eye. Quiet eye has been shown to have a positive effect on sport performance for a broad range of sport specific skills including soccer, basketball, ice hockey, golf, and volleyball. To integrate quiet eye into a coach's perspective, patterns of behavior for unrelated sport motor skills were established, and specific suggestions based on these behaviors have been provided. Furthermore, research shows that quiet eye is highly trainable across a variety of team and individual sports. Detriments to sport performance and quiet eye fixation occur when anxiety levels are elevated, but through quiet eye training, anxiety's detrimental effects on performance may be negated. Thus, quiet eye training has shown to be an important coaching mechanism to develop an athlete's visual patterns of behavior which can improve the overall sport performance.
