The Italian football team had neurofeedback
training before winning the World Cup
|
|
A newspaper article has revealed
that neurofeedback and biofeedback contributed to Italy becoming the
football world champions. Four players who represent AC Milan had been
undergoing peak performance training for several months before the
world cup in an attempt to gain the mental edge over their opponents.
|
The ability to get 'in the zone' may
have been essential to the performance of the players, especially in
high pressure situations such as penalty shoot-outs which Italy won in
the final game of the tournament to beat France and lift the trophy.
The training the players had is similar to that offered by PeakMind and
improves focus, concentration and improves the ability to recover from
exertion.
