Optimize Your Brain for Ultimate Physical Performance

NPT programs are periodized to encourage optimal training adaptations. Sessions will vary in intensity and duration depending on the program design. Training duration typicallly lasts between 10-30 mins.

For HS/College Teams: The most important piece is consistency. For students I recommend doing the drills before practice. They usually have some free time between classes and practice, it’s a great opportunity to log in and focus. Another option is right before they check in to lift. Same principles apply; it becomes part of their routine and the whole team can do it together. Right after individuals. If their academic schedule are tight study hall may be an additional option. There will be accountability and consistency here. Professionals: Consistency is key; the more we can integrate this as part of their routine, the greater adherence to the program. Before practice or before individuals; part of their routine to lock in. First thing in the morning; part of their morning routine. Before shoot-around.

There are a number of professional teams from around the world that have integrated NPT into their sport science programs including: Golden State Warriors Red Bull Racing FC Barcelona Manchester United New Zealand All Blacks Seattle Seahawks Toronto Mapleleafs Real Madrid

There are a number of issues that NPT can address. Largely, teams are looking to monitor fatigue and heighten performance, particularly in pressure situations. NPT can: Sharpen focus Enhance mental agility Heighten situational awareness Decrease reaction times Refine decision making skills Build mental resilience Improves mental and physical stamina Improves memory

While individuals can see a difference in as few as 6 weeks; we recommend no fewer than 3 months of training and 6-12 months for sustainable changes. The first four weeks, the brain is learning and making adjustments. In the second month we start to see growth and as we continue to push the threshold it opens the door to greater capacity.

First and foremost, we have been working with scientists and researchers for several years to help develop our system. We have over 30 research studies that have been published edifying our system. Most of the other modalities out there have little research, if any; in fact many often cite our research on their websites. Additionally, we capture objective data. This is instrumental in helping to tailor programs so that individuals can meet their goals. Further, this data allows us to measure progress and development.

Yes, we have been working with a number of university across the globe to measure the impact of our system. Over 30 studies have been conducted investigating everything from mental fatigue, to jumping performance to the efficacy of sports supplements. The subjects have been men and women, athletes and non-athletes. We also have been working with two of the leading researchers investigating Mental Fatigue, Dr. Samuel Macora & Dr. Walter Stainao , who have over 100 publications between them.

Optimally, NPT is integrated into your performance training program. Throughout the year, the training sessions will vacillate in duration, frequency and intensity depending on the objective and demand. If you are a professional athlete, you may take time off, but you don’t stop moving.

Anyone can benefit from NPT. The brain is like a computer’s operating system. When we update our operating system, there’s better functionality; expedited processing speeds; everything runs smoother. Through NPT, we can update the brain, enhancing the brains ability to process information, to mitigate stress; to improve coordination; we get better, holistically.

The response to NPT is going to be relative to each individual as we all have different brains. However, what we find is that NPT has a compounding effect and the results become more evident over time. Individuals become more focused, have longer attention spans. They make fewer unforced errors, especially when working under pressure. Physically, athletes are able to push themselves harder, for longer periods of time and demonstrate greater mental and physical resilience.

No. We all have the ability to improve our health and well-being; we all are susceptible to fatigue. NPT is a tool that we can employ to help us reach our goals, physically and mentally.

Candidly, not much time at all. In fact I have athletes that I haven’t met in person. Initially, I like to spend a few minutes talking with my clients so that we can build a rapport, this can be done in person or remotely. How much contact we have from there differs on the type of program we have designed. In some cases it may be a simple check-in via text/email every few weeks. In a more detailed program, we may engage weekly for 10-15 mins. When working with teams, particularly when we are focusing on managing mental fatigue, I will work together with coaches to discuss data and the teams performance. Typically these sessions last about 30 minutes.
