Takeaways
Mental performance has evolved to include data-driven training and objective feedback, which allows for more effective assessment and progress tracking.
Neurocognitive training focuses on training the way athletes see, decide, and execute, incorporating sports vision training and perceptual-cognitive training.
Brain performance is crucial for optimal performance and involves factors such as sleep, nutrition, and emotional regulation.
Implementing neurocognitive training can be done through specialized facilities, integrating it into physical training, or working one-on-one with individuals.
The future of brain performance lies in combining mental and physical training, using technology to provide objective feedback, and addressing mental health and wellness alongside performance.
