Players Health: the better the health the more valuable the
player
The
primary objective of the B.E.S.T. Sports and Executive (business) program is
the optimization of the health of each person. The bio-psycho-physiological
well-being of individuals is the most valuable asset of a team as a whole. The
consistency of a healthy, intact team is the hallmark of success from both a
winning perspective and team/player satisfaction perspective, in both sports and
business.
The
Systematic Approach:
The
B.E.S.T. Sports and Executive (business) program focuses on personal development
and continued success from a comprehensive approach. The teams are comprised of
multiple players that need to be trained to perform optimally.
This
principle holds true within an individual. The subsystems of the body,
mind and brain must be trained and optimized to work together.
The
Functional Levels:
The
underlying philosophy of the B.E.S.T. Sports and Executive (business) program
is an understanding of health as a total state of physical, mental and social
well-being that is dependent on the balancing of three principal functional
levels: neurological, physiological and psychological, that together represent
the player's health and ability to optimally perform.
Neurological: is based on the approach that emphasizes the intrinsic
ability of plasticity in the brain and body; to stress, adapt and recover
functions without drugs or surgical intervention. It addresses the mTBI's
that may have occured during their careers.
Physiological: the body is a physio-chemical-biological entity, that
adapts and changes, dependent upon the stress applied to it. By applying
optimal stress (eustress) and teaching players to effectively cope and reduce
excess stress (distress), players reduce the risk of illness, overtraining and
re-injury and slow physiologic aging and performance. Metabolic testing
may be recommended to bring the bodies systems into balance.
Psychological: the study and monitoring of the psychological state of the
individual utilizes the B.E.S.T. programs technology to quantitatively measure
and train an individuals focus, energy management, stress reduction, and mental
recovery. The mental training takes only 20 minutes and takes place after every
physical training session or at specific times during an executives daily
activities. The program enables individuals to improve their mental and
physical recovery rate and to provide scope for them to overcome negative
stress.
The
B.E.S.T. Sports and Executive (business) program centers around '3 core
components':
1.
Psykinetics – the understanding and improvement of mental skills such as
memory, creativity and strategies for peak performance.
2. Neurological and physiological skill and stress assessment.
3. Neurofeedback/biofeedback training for mental skills and strategies
for optimizing performance
4. Neurofeedback/biofeedback training 'in the field' or ' in the office'
(during skill execution or tasks).
