Golf and Neurofeedback

There is a new frontier in sports performance which focuses on the mental aspects of the game, such as mental preparation and self confidence. Studies have shown that these mental aspects are just as important to performance as training for skill and endurance.

Our Peak Performance program helps to eliminate the mental and neurological barriers to performance by improving your ability to regulate your attention, in order to enhance and focus your natural abilities.

Golfers report improved mental preparation before a tee shot, drive or putt which translates into improvement in both the level and consistency of performance.

PEAK PERFORMANCE: NEUROFEEDBACK

Golf

What is Neurofeedback?

Established patterns of behavior, attention, awareness, and performance are created and maintained at deep neurophysiological levels. They are related to the effective functioning of your brain as reflected by the brainwaves. These behavior patterns can be modified using Neurofeedback.

Neurofeedback is the process of learning to reinforce optimal brainwave states through the use of advanced computer feedback technology. When you consistently produce desirable brainwave patterns (those associated with higher levels of attention, focus, or mental relaxation), these patterns are rewarded and reinforced.

What are golfers’ mental processes?

There are many mental tasks associated with good golf; the need to take in the overall layout of the course, the ability to plan the shots to be used, the need to calibrate oneself to each shot, the ability to relate the distance and direction to one’s personal position at the outset, the need to stand before the ball and be still, and prepare for a brief moment of highly precise action. All of these actions must be undertaken in a relaxed, automatic fashion, free of the encumbrances of overt thought. Finally, after each shot, the individual must again relax, process the activity, and prepare for the next.

The golfer must be able to carry out repeated, precise, difficult maneuvers without tiring, or becoming frustrated or angry. The successful and satisfying completion of this complex series of tasks is facilitated by being able to achieve the relevant brain state at the relevant time, and being able to move gracefully and freely from state to state. This is at the core of golf.
