What is the relationship between video games, and athletic cognition?

Quick thanks to the following folks:

Dr. Shawn Green, Professor at U. of Wisconsin
Dr. Graham Erickson, Professor at Pacific University
Andrew Hawkins, NFL Pro Era Founder
Halo Studios (letting me film in the Halo Museum)

Like many, I grew up with video games...and like many, I was always curious - is any of this helpful? Does any of this improve our athletic performance?

From Starcraft on the computer to Halo on the console...there are so many different types of video games that I played, I knew I couldn't group them into one category. This led to a vision - a continuum.

There is so much to explore here, and in all likelihood, I will revisit the VR/AR world later with a few companies that are training athletes.

Hope you enjoy - feel free to drop a comment and subscribe if you do.
