Our Y10 Sports Studies students were able to try out some state of the art sports performance technology by completing some Neuro training with i-Brain Tech.
i-Brain Tech’s innovative training system is a sports video game you control entirely with your mind.Ā The session allowed the students to complete a series of football drills virtually using a sensory cap and thinking through the drills.
They believe their technology enables athletes to achieve peak performance by directly targeting and training the brain’s focus and motor control regions. They works with professional football and basketball teams globally and boast that their training leads to a 34% improvement in cognitive function in 8 weeks due to an increase in focus and concentration.
The students very much enjoyed the workshop and it provided them with an opportunity to use some of the most update methods of performance improvement in elite sport. They will be able link this experience to the Technology in Sport unit they are studying. We are also hopeful that the experience will broaden the students knowledge of potential career pathways after they finish school.
