Head in the Game: The Mental Engineering of the World's Greatest Athletes by Brandon Sneed EPUB
An intriguing blend of science and sports that explores how some of the worlds greatest athletes are utilizing the last frontier of performance-enhancing technologyâthe mental mapping and engineering of their own brainsâfor peak performance, and what it means for the future of athleticism, sports, and the rest of us. Moneyball showed how statistics were revolutionizing baseball. The Sports Gene revealed the role genetics play in sports. Now, Head in the Game examines the next evolution: how mental engineeringâthe manipulation of the cognitive processes of the brainâcan make gifted athletes even better. For years, technologyâfrom EEG (electroencephalogram) to fMRI (Functional magnetic resonance imaging) to video games, tablets, and personal data collection devicesâhave been used with soldiers to understand their physical and mental functioning. Touching on brain functionality vital to sportsâboth the "hard" (coordination, stimuli processing, functional memory, decision-making, load-processing) and the "soft" (emotion regulation, visualization, psychology, mindfulness)âthis tech is now being adopted by scores of championship franchises and top athletesâincluding scrappy underdogs forced to innovate and elite players looking for an advantage. Star NFL quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Tom Brady, the NBAâs Kyle Korver, and Olympic volleyball champion Kerri Walsh are using mental engineering to up their game. Itâs not luck that has transformed the San Antonio Spurs into a formidable forceâitâs science, Sneed demonstrates. As mental engineering becomes widespreadâtaking athletes who are already freaks of nature and making them betterâthe impact on the multi-billion dollar sports industry will be dramatic on players, managers, trainers, owners, and even fans. Interviewing athletes and coaches, visiting training camps and sports science firms, Brandon Sneed offers a firsthand, on-the-ground look at this exciting breakthrough that has the potential to transform to transform the gameâand all our lives.
