The larger the gap between readiness and preparedness, the greater the potential loss in performance.

This needs to be monitored.

Feedback Loops with Technology

•Training without even simple forms of feedback  can put performers and coaches at a  disadvantage

•Simple monitoring devices create more impact,  fine tuning the process of training and life  balance

Feedback Loops Examples Example:  Monitoring Sleep

•Fosters accountability for the athlete and provides  objective information that can be used for  education/reinforcement of habits

•Good habits promote increased welfare, efficiency in the  subsystems of the body, sync proper CNS responses,  faster reaction times, better decision making,

NeuroTracker Cognitive Training 

Scientifically-proven training that isolates the mental skills needed for awareness, focus, and decision-making on the field.

From the

Lab

Process visual information more quickly Increase peripheral awareness Simultaneously track multiple targets Read body movements effectively Maintain focus for longer Increase resistance to fatigue Improve your situational awareness

React faster to the play on the field Avoid collisions and tackles Recognize more threats/opportunities Anticipate opponents earlier Boost attention in critical situations Maintain end-game performance levels Control the game tactically

Baselining for performance profiling & post-concussion RTP assessment
