Neurofeedback for Peak Performance
Around 2008 or 2009 I started noticing mentions in the media related to neurofeedback for peak performance. This ramped up even more during and after the 2010 Olympics.In 2010 and again this year I also told the story of my husband’s experience with neurofeedback and his long amateur career as a softball pitcher. Here’s a quote from that blog post:
How can neurofeedback help you improve your game? Here are three of the ways:
-
Stay in the moment (this means being in the “flow” state)
-
Reduce sports anxiety and use that energy for your game
-
Be able to let go of mistakes and refocus quickly
In 2013, Dr. Valdeanne Brown, co-founder and developer of NeurOptimal® Dynamical Nurofeedback®, recorded a video about neurofeedback for peak performance, titled, The Possibilities are Endless: Using Brain Training to Up your Golf Game. One of the things Dr. Brown says in the video is that it is “training of the central nervous system, regardless of task.” That’s what makes it so widely applicable – and helpful.
Neurofeedback for peak performance – anywhere in life
So it’s not just useful in sports. Whatever it is you’d like to be your best at, NeurOptimal® is likely to
improve your performance. Think of it as a personal trainer for your brain. I have seen performance improve in types of work across the board, including in all the arts.Do you have questions about how NeurOptimal® neurofeedback could benefit you? Please ask them here on the blog or contact me.
