Sport changes your brain. The minds of elite athletes can pull off
feats of anticipation and co-ordination that amateurs would find
impossible. The athletic brain has been trained through hours and
hours of practice - years of sweat and toil. But what if there were
a shortcut to training your brain? Cognitive training tools offer
the tantalising possibility of breaking the '10,000-hour rule'.
Top-level athletes and teams are increasingly tapping into new
knowledge of the brain to develop tools and techniques that can
offer a shortcut to sporting success, or push the boundaries of
performance beyond its current limits. Increasingly, these tools
are becoming available to the ordinary amateur, revolutionising the
ways in which anyone can improve their skills. Based on interviews
with top athletes and the scientists working at the cutting edge of
our knowledge, Amit Katwala provides a fascinating insight into the
possibilities that are becoming open to us all. He takes us to see
how Borussia Dortmund's 'Footbonaut' and touchscreen-based games in
the NFL have been achieving excellent results. As with bestsellers
such as The Chimp Paradoxand Bounce, by the end of this book,
readers will look at sporting performance in a new light, and be
able to apply these insights to their own lives.
