Tap the #3, identify the color on the ball bouncing at you, catch the color identified from the ball on the baton.....so much going on in this drill! TRAIN THE 🧠......One of the most important part of training for athletes!! .arcuri28 .dc .nd

💥Good luck to all our athletes entering their new seasons and getting back to school! 💥


We miss working with you and hope tryouts went well! Keep grinding and being you 👊🏼

Im getting faster and stronger every week thanks to .dc .nd😊😊

REACTION TIME ⏰🧠

What is it? It is the time between when we recognize or perceive a visual, audio or other sensory stimuli to the time that we react to that same stimuli.

PERCEPTION = Visually seeing a referee dropping a hockey puck. Do you react to the ref’s hand? The sound of the puck hitting the ice, or do you visually follow the pucks movement, or are you just relying on instinct? 👀👂

REACTION = You have now seen the puck hit the ice and play resumes. How fast are you moving your stick/body into place? Are you thinking of what you are doing before the play begins or waiting to react? How much do you try an anticipate (guess) instead of actually reacting to what is in front of you. 🏃🏻‍♀️🏒

➡️These values are often difficult to calculate by hand which is why we use objective data to help determine an individuals progress. Various factors such as speed of processing as well as proper motor and sensory function are key for improving reaction time.

THINK FAST 💥 💥

This drill challenges many different brain functions. Decision-making, visual acuity, reaction time and hand-eye coordination. 🧠 👁

Not many other types of training can challenge and ENHANCE these cognitive functions.

Athletes who are not training like this will be left behind. There is a reason why athletes like , , many UFC fighters and many NBA players are training like this. The brain controls the body.

The body can only achieve what the brain can perceive 🧠

WHAT IS AGILITY TRAINING? 🏃‍♂️🧠

By definition, agility training (AT) is whole body movements with changes of velocity or direction in response to a stimulus. This differs from physical training (PT) which consists of weight training, calisthenics [body weight training] & running.

In the above video you can see the athlete having to perform movements in response to the lit-up semaphore [the stimulus]. ⬆️

A human trial with 41 Military Students assessing the differences between AT vs PT in a 6-week period.

The study concluded:
➡️AT was as effective as PT in enhancing physical fitness.
➡️AT is potentially more effective than PT at specific measures of physical & cognitive performance. These include; agility, memory, & vigilance.
➡️Improved overall war-fighter performance
➡️It seems likely that benefits of AT observed here work in other populations [i.e. Human trials have been done in other athletes/populations!].

This does not take away from the importance of PT, but rather showing that athlete’s only doing PT are likely leaving out a large component of performance. As training methods evolve, we need to shift to more unique training methods as well.

We pride ourselves in creating a unique environment to enhance the athlete’s cognitive abilities and not just their physical performance. 🧠💪
