Basketball Workouts For the Brain
By Gill Lavi
The best basketball players are known to be those who make smart decisions on court? their ability to anticipate moves, spot opportunities for the team and make smart money-time decisions, makes them legendary. Up until now, game-intelligence was considered a matter of born-talent a player either had or didn't. A ground-breaking technology promises to change that equation forever.
In order to improve their basketball skills, players need to practice daily on court? dribbling, shooting, and memorizing moves.
However, no matter how seriously they take their basketball workouts, even the best coach will find it extremely difficult teaching them game intelligence, creativity, real-time decision making and peripheral vision.
Personalized Basketball "Brain-Training" Software
Up until now these brain-skills were considered to be instincts that a player is born with or without. Few years ago a team of cognitive training scientists identified the brain activity involved with the performance of fighter pilots on the air and created a virtual simulator to intensely train and improve those mind functions.
The results shocked even the most ardent believers in the concept – fighter pilots that have undergone "brain-training" sessions improved their performance by a whopping 30%!.
The research team of this unique project noticed that the skills required by fighter pilots are amazingly similar to those required of professional basketball players.
And so a team of 30 coaches joined the computer experts and converted the system into personalized basketball “brain-training” software that fit the basketball workouts and needs of individual players including Junior-High, High-School and College players.
It was first tested on real basketball teams such as U. of Memphis Tigers and the U. of Kentucky Wildcats. Within 6 to 8 weeks of training, each players' performance in the areas of execution, decision-making under intense pressure and movement anticipation skyrocketed – especially during money-time situations.
Quantifiably, players involved with the testing have improved their skills in various areas – on both offence and defense – by 22% to 28%!
