The human brain is really put to the test when it comes to sports. However mental performance is kind of seen as an intangible phenomenon, where coaches and athletes generally don’t yet have the know-how or access to the neurotechnologies to really tap into this resource.
I think this speaks volumes about the professional sports industry in general, because today the brain is considered the most untapped resource in high-performance sports. Since then, we’ve been blessed to work with some of the world’s best UFC fighters.
It was a pro-fighter preparing for a championship who reached out because of my neuroscience background, asking if I could work with him to enhance his mental performance.įrom there I founded Neuro Peak Performance, in which we are totally dedicated to neurocognitive training for athletic performance. Although I was a boxer in the US Marine Core, I didn’t actually choose this path, it instead chose me. From Neuroscience to Fight SportsĬoming out of a brain-based leadership background with a post-doctorate neurobiology, I became a neurocognitive trainer for fight sports four years ago. Here I’ll cover the rising demands for this type of neural conditioning for sports, and why it's been so transformative in my own coaching practices with UFC fighters. It’s growing for good reason, because neurocognitive training will revolutionize the ways in which coaches and athletes actualize their peak performance potential.
The neurocognitive sports industry is still small, but growing fast.
