Optimal Performance Technology Research Systems

OPT Delivers

Optimal Performance Technology (OPT) has developed advanced physical and mental training systems to produce measurable  performance gains at the highest levels for athletes, coaches and teams.
 
Refined through decades of work with elite competitors, OPT Research Systems integrate circulation-based manual therapy, zone access training, and visualization techniques used by championship-level athletes.
 
This enables teams and individuals to perform their best when it  matters most.

Methodology

OPT combines physical recovery techniques with well-established mental training principles into a single synchronized system. Improving  recovery allows the body to perform more effectively under pressure. That includes moving faster and with greater precision—especially in high stakes situations.

When these systems are fully integrated, athletes often exceed their previous best. Peak performance is no longer elusive. It becomes repeatable.

End Game

OPT’s fine tunes traits and beliefs that define championship performance: discipline, vision, motivation, and control under pressure. Through the proper utilization of OPT’s proprietary training systems, an entire organization will up-level their performance when everything is on the line. The outcome will be what has been previously visualized and programmed: The championship of their sport, with the capability of repeating that success over-and-over. A dynasty is born and sustained.

“Visualization is the road map, visualization is everything. There’s nothing you can do without programming yourself and visualizing the best possible outcome.”

So stated OPT client Vernon Davis, Super Bowl 50 Champion with the Denver Broncos and longtime star player for the San Francisco 49ers. As of the start of the 2026 NFL season, he is number three all-time in career playoff touchdowns for a tight end, tied with NFL Hall of Famer Dave Casper of the Oakland Raiders.

(GP = Games Played)

Davis reached another milestone during his last active NFL season (2019). He surpassed three-time Super Bowl Champion and Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe to become the sixth most productive tight end ever in career touchdowns in the regular season (with 63 TD’s).

Davis will describe in detail OPT’s methodology in a letter located at the end of the VKR section of this website. He gives credit for his visualizing and winning the Super Bowl to what he learned from OPT.

Research Development

 

 

OPT Research Systems have been battle-tested over a rigorous 40-plus year period of investigation and evaluation with some of the best athletes in modern (post-1980) sports history. Anthony Hirschman and his longtime mentor/research partner, Richard Wickline, learned and refined these systems from their ongoing work with champion athletes. Wickline keeps his mental training methodology highly confidential…therefore, this site will be one of the very few places one can find it mentioned online. His success working with Hirschman last decade in four pro and Olympic sports is extensive. Details of that collaborative research are available in the OPT PowerPoint Presentation. Read on to find out how to obtain that information.

Please see attached letter (in condensed form) from the Chairman Of Education of the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA).  USADA is a regulatory entity employed by the U.S. Olympic Committee to make sure athletes are not using drugs during athletic competition. OPT Research Systems have been shown to act as a natural means to enhance performance without the use of drugs. This topic is described in detail  in the Circulation Training section of this website.
