What is a Brain Gym?

Brain training is a workout, just like weight training. When you train your muscles, they get more efficient, and the shape and structure begins to change. Eventually, what was once difficult to lift becomes easy and your new ‘limit' is set. The same thing happens with brain training. The brain structure and shape changes to slowly adapt to the situations you continually practice, creating more white matter and increasing the speed and power of connections between neurons. Weight Training = Changing the efficiency and structure of your muscles to improve performance. Brain Training = Changing the efficiency and structure of your brain to improve performance.

Focus Calm Accredited Coach

MG1 Elite Performance are proud to be the ONLY Focus Calm accredited Coach in the United Kingdom, and one of only very few accredited coaches in the world. Using start of the art Brain-Computer interface software to show EEG data, we are able to record activity from the 100Billion neurons in the athlete's brain. Neurons network with each other, firing an electrical signal when they form connections during a global function of the brain. EEG data is unique for every individual, meaning what is happening in everyones brain during certain scenarios is totally different. With this data, we can start to see what is happening in a specific athlete's brain at any given time, which will ultimately impact on in-game performance. Using this Neurofeedback, we are able to develop key self-regulation skills unique to the individual athlete. This is done by developing self-awareness of the mind and body and start learning how to calm the brain and body to focus the mind to improve neural efficiency. With neural efficiency and self-regulation, we get a step closer to the state of flow - the perfect mental state for optimum athletic performance.

Ice Hockey Goalies

The Multi-functional MG1 Brain Gym also includes a 10-foot square synthetic Ice pad with fixed Ice Hockey goal, allowing Goaltenders to practice key skating patterns and movements when ice time is at a premium. Using the incredible Sense Arena VR, plus other Cognitive programs available in the MG1 Brain Gym, goaltenders can access specific on-ice workouts at a time to suit them. Post practice skate sharpening is also available thanks to our in-house Sparx sharpener.
