At The Brain Room, we are dedicated to helping athletes elevate their game through cutting-edge cognitive training. One of our recent success stories involves two young female AFL players who have shown extraordinary improvement through our NeuroTracker 3D-MOT (Multiple Object Tracking) program.
The Challenge
These aspiring AFL athletes came to us with a clear goal: to sharpen their cognitive-perceptual abilities and enhance their on-field performance. Visual tracking speed (VTS) is crucial for success in fast-paced sports like AFL, where split-second decisions and precise spatial awareness can be game-changers.
The Training Approach
Using NeuroTracker, our athletes engaged in rigorous 3D-MOT sessions. This advanced system trains the brain to track multiple moving objects in a 3D space, simulating the dynamic demands of a live game environment. Our program focuses on four types of attention: selective, sustained, distributed, and dynamic, all of which are vital for high-level performance in AFL.
The Results
Over several months, these athletes committed to consistent training, completing dozens of NeuroTracker sessions. The results were remarkable:
Athlete 1: Her VTS score increased by 107%, reaching levels typically found in elite professional athletes. This translates to enhanced game awareness, quicker reactions, and better decision-making on the field.
Athlete 2: Her VTS score improved by 100%, bringing her into the range of professional athletes. Her ability to process the game faster and make strategic plays has significantly improved, making her a formidable presence on the field.
Both athletes have reported noticeable benefits, including improved peripheral vision, faster game processing, and a newfound ability to make smart, confident decisions under pressure. Their dedication to cognitive training is a testament to the power of enhancing the brain’s performance alongside physical conditioning. Including making AFL teams in subsequent years and playing at the senior level.
The Impact of Cognitive Training in AFL
These impressive gains underscore the importance of cognitive training for athletes aspiring to play at the highest levels. By investing in their mental game, athletes can achieve a competitive edge, improving not only their focus and awareness but also their overall performance.
