OUR PURPOSE

Even the world's best players can improve their mental performance. At Be Your Best, our purpose is to help footballers towards betterment, to be at their best.

It is possible to build competitive advantage through cognitive/mental performance and it is possible to bridge the gap to the best.

What we do is based on research and evidence, which simply means that the basis for our methods and tools is documented. We believe more in data than in gut feeling.

Be Your Best™ cognitive ASSESSMENT

Football specific tests for Perception, Decision making and Cognitive capacity.
We believe that there is an upcoming revolution in this area and that most clubs will have
ongoing cognitive assessments for all players in the years to come. Do not be left out!

Be Your Best™ COGNITIVE training

Geir Jordet's (PhD football psychology) study of Premier League players has shown that players with a high frequency of scanning/awareness prior to receiving a pass, increase their likelihood of a successful forward pass substantially. More on Norwegian researcher (Geir Jordet) and Xavi.

This skill can be trained by Be Your Best™ Cognitive Training. Particularly pre-orientation and awareness during the last highly important seconds before receiving a pass. Alongside with fast optimal decision-making. The training scenarios are tailor made or replicas of "turning points" from real UEFA Champions League and FIFA World Championship games, while the cognitive benchmark is the world’s best players.

Other Be Your Best™ mental performance areas includes cope with success, handling pressure, cope with adversity and self-regulative learning.

TESTIMONIAL

Top level clubs, national football associations and individual world-class players are assessing and training cognitive and mental performance skills with Be Your Best™

After using Be Your Best™ for 3-4 months, 20 players from Norway U19 national team answered in March 2018 that they believed their cognitive performance on the pitch would improve because of the VR-training.

They scored an average of 4,6 out of maximum 5 (on scale 1 no improvement to 5 substantial improvement). 10 days later they beat Germany U19 5-2, one of the world's best U19, thus knocking out both Germany U19 and Holland U19 whilst qualifying for the U19 UEFA European Championship 2018.
