Soccer IntelliGym Introduced

The Soccer IntelliGym is the world’s first “Brain Gym” training program that is scientifically proven to improve on-pitch performance of soccer players. The award-winning IntelliGym technology is based on concepts developed for air force and NASA pilots. The Soccer IntelliGym addresses a large variety of brain skills that are found to be strongly related to players’ performance, such as anticipation, divided attention, awareness (and particularly spatial perception), long term focus and concentration, team play, working memory (needed to process trajectories that take place in hidden areas, such as behind the player), rapid adaptation to changing environment and the ability to spot evolving opportunities, pattern recognition, execution of game plan, and coping with time constraints. Training these skills results much better decisions and substantially less mistakes and fewer injuries. The development of the Soccer IntelliGym involved football clubs and researchers from Germany, the Netherlands and Austria, a
