Most people think speed is about how fast the brain works. It’s really about how efficiently information moves.
Route is the second step in the A.R.E.S. Performance Loop. It’s how visual information is filtered and sent to the correct systems in the brain.
You can acquire information quickly, but if it’s routed poorly, decisions arrive late and reactions feel off. Performance breaks down long before the athlete realizes why.
That’s not instinct. It’s a measurable performance system.
We quantify it as AQ-R, so training targets information flow, not guesswork.
This is where efficiency is built.
