Cooper Sport Performance and Rehab now offers its athletes the NeuroTracker Training System to push the performance boundaries of mental focus and cognitive training
Tampa, Florida, July 8, 2013 — Parents, before you invest all your time and money in just physical training for your son or daughter, check with local human performance expert Dr. Josh Cooper if incorporating mental performance training also makes sense. All athletes are looking for that edge to get to the next level, whether collegiate ranks or the pros. All high level athletic programs now seek out the athlete who is physically strong and mentally sharp.
“As competitive as the athletic field has become we chose to make the investment in the ability to train the complete athlete. We not only determine an athlete’s baseline measurements in speed, agility, power and anthropometric measurements, we now also measure an athlete’s perception/cognition. And best, we have the training system to train that athlete to make lightning fast decisions and to stay focused even under extreme pressure.”
Cooper relied on the word and work of his colleague, Vince Lodato, LCSW, CC-AASP to incorporate the latest in mental performance training into the overall menu of performance training available at Cooper .
For Lodato, a Certified Sport Psychology Consultant who has worked on the high school, collegiate, and professional level in the Tampa Bay area and has an office at Cooper Speed-Strength, says “this was a no brainer. The NeuroTracker is valued by athletes, trainers, and coaches for developing critical thinking skills and focus, increasing mental endurance, assessing and training concussion recovery, reducing injury risk, enhancing collision avoidance skills, and supporting rehabilitation. Athletes learn to perform under extreme pressure. For me, it’s a game changer. I can complete an assessment of an athlete’s cognitive score in about 6 minutes and quickly put together a complete training program. The athletes really enjoy the training and we see positive results both on the field and off very quickly.”
The NeuroTracker Training System caught the attention on Lodato over a year ago as he attended the National Association for Applied Sports Psychology in Atlanta. A colleague of Lodato, Dr. Pierre Beauchamp has used the NeuroTracker for over 3 years with Canadian Olympic athletes and swears it is the reason for over 6 gold medals for Canada.
The NeuroTracker is developed by the University of Montreal’s Visual Psychophysicists and Perception Laboratory and is in partnership with CogniSens Athletics. NeuroSport Performance www.neurosportperformance.com , markets, sells and distributes the NeuroTracker worldwide and is known as the Leader in Mental Performance Training Technology.
CEO Kenny James of NeuroSport Performance is very pleased to be working with Lodato and after meeting Dr. Cooper, it truly was a no brainer. “We have set up the NeuroTracker at some of the top sport franchises around the world and Cooper’s performance center is just as strong as any. Cooper is a fanatic and has a world class staff to support the training of the athletes. We are pleased because not only will Cooper give the athletes a leg up on their competition, Cooper will change the lives of many young athletes that struggle to stay focused whether in sport or school.”
Cooper is offering a free trial on the 2 NeuroTracker Pro Series training systems and offering very affordable training packages for individual athletes as well as attractive packages for team training.
