NEUROSPORT TRAINING
-
What is NeuroSport Training?NeuroSport Training is the training and enhancement of visual and cognitive skills. These visual and cognitive skills are related to the process of taking in visual information, processing it in the brain, making decisions, and reacting or responding quickly and accurately.
-
Why are visual and cognitive skills so important for sports performance?Visual and cognitive skills are crucial for sports performance because they help athletes process information quickly, react faster, and make better decisions under pressure. 80% of the sensory information used to make decisions is visual, so having strong visual and cognitive skills is critical in decision making. Strong visual tracking, depth perception, and peripheral awareness improve accuracy and coordination, while cognitive abilities like focus, anticipation, and split-second decision-making give players a competitive edge. Training these skills enhances overall performance, helping athletes see the game better and play smarter.
-
What are some examples of visual and cognitive skills?Eye-hand coordination, peripheral awareness, anticipation timing, depth perception, reaction time, go/no-go, visual processing, multiple object tracking, target search, speed/span of recognition, and more. Each of these skills are associated with sport and athletic performance, displaying how critical vision is for virtually any sport.

How can NeuroSport Training improve my performance?NeuroSport Training enhances your performance by sharpening visual and cognitive skills essential for athletic success. Our training improves how quickly and accurately you can see things on the field/court/ice, the speed in which it is processed in the brain, and how quick and accurate you make decisions and movements. By strengthening skills like depth perception, peripheral awareness, and processing speed, you’ll be able to anticipate plays faster, react more efficiently, and perform at your best in high-pressure situations - giving you the edge to outperform your competition.
WHAT IS INVOLVED WITH OUR NEUROSPORT TRAINING PROGRAMS?
1. Visual and Cognitive Performance Assessment
All NeuroSport training programs begin with an assessment of visual and cognitive skills to establish data on how well you are performing. Each athlete is provided a NeuroSport Performance Report, which displays your performance ranked by percentile against athletes of your sport and position across the world.
Our protocol is designed to assess the complete profile of visual and cognitive skills which will reveal how well an athlete's visual system is performing for their sport.
2. NeuroSport Training and Development Program
Based on the Visual and Cognitive Performance Assessment, an individualized training program is designed to train and enhance areas of improvement, as well as critical visual and cognitive skills for your sport.
Our NeuroSport Training incorporates specialized technology and exercises targeted at enhancing the visual and cognitive skills critical to sport performance. The goal of each program is to "slow down the game" by improving how quickly you can take in, process, and make decisions based on the visual information during the game.
Overall, the training will help you see the game more clearly, make smarter decisions under pressure, execute clutch plays, react faster, and improve your ability to make critical saves, catches, and game-changing moves.
