I don't know if I believe the hype or not, but the Globe and Mail's Roy MacGregor penned a column about a computer program that sports teams are now employing to help develop what fighter pilots call "situational awareness"--because the program was originally designed to help Israeli fighter pilots improve their abilities to anticipate and react in combat:
Gordie Howe once said he’d figured out what made The Great One, Wayne Gretzky, such a special hockey player.
“I sometimes think that if you part Wayne’s hair,” Mr. Howe joked, “you’ll find another eye.”
Jacob Greenshpan believes he has found the secret to that mythical “third eye” that only the greatest of players seem to possess: an ability to see the ice almost without looking, a gift of anticipating what will happen before it happens.
