The higher the level of competition, the quicker the game and the more time pressure there is on the player to make an adequate action. The best players make quicker and better tactical decisions, remain technically sound under pressure and are more agile and move better.
Just like with sports skills, fluid and explosive movement is also a matter of coordination. An athlete has to be powerful in a variety of motor patterns. Principles of motor learning need therefore also to be considered in performance training.
Besides principles of motor learning this topic also broadens the scope to focus on an integrated training approach of motor, perceptual and cognitive skills. We address the interplay between body and mind to improve sport-specific brain function and maximise the transfer to sports.
This topic also covers exercises to give you a better understanding on how to integrate sport-specific brain training into rehab and performance training.
