Train Reaction Time, Decision-Making & Agility Like the Pros
50 to 90% of sports performance is mental, but most training doesn’t reflect this. SwitchedOn helps athletes train smarter by combining physical drills with randomized visual and audio cues, helping improve their ability to react and make split-second decisions in game-like conditions.
SCIENCE-BASED BENEFITS
SwitchedOn’s Cognitive-Motor Training (CMT) methodology delivers faster, more effective results by training the brain and body together.
Based on findings from Lucia et al., 2022 – Brain Sciences
✅ Enhanced Reaction Time & Decision-Making
CMT improves reaction time by +5.4% and decision-making accuracy by +25.8% compared to traditional drills (Lucia et al., 2022).
✅ Better Transfer to Competition
Integrating cognitive challenges into motor training replicates game demands, leading to greater skill transfer from practice to performance (Friebe et al., 2024).
✅ Improved Spatial Awareness
Training athletes to keep their head on a swivel and respond to external cues sharpens spatial awareness and performance in dynamic sports (Ziegler, 1994).
✅ Reduced Injury Risk
Reactive training helps athletes develop adaptive variability and enhanced neuromuscular control, which is key for injury prevention (Mercado-Palomino et al., 2020)
✅ Increased Motivation
The interactive, game-like nature of CMT increases enjoyment, focus, and training effort compared to traditional routines (Friebe et al., 2024).
✅ Better Performance Data
Reactive agility tests are more effective than pre-planned tests at distinguishing skill levels and predicting game performance (Lockie et al., 2013).
HOW COACHES & ATHLETES USE SWITCHEDON®
True Agility Training
Develop real agility by training athletes to react to unpredictable cues, enhancing their ability to think and move in game-like conditions.
Skill Training with Decision-making
Simulate real-game scenarios by linking reactive cues to technical skills, forcing athletes to read, decide, and act quickly under pressure.
Brain-Body Warm-Ups
Prime the nervous system with drills that activate cognitive and physical systems, enhancing focus and readiness before practice or games.
Performance Assessments
Use reactive, game-relevant tests to evaluate cognitive and physical sharpness, providing objective data to track progress and guide training.
SwitchedOn® gives you access to a growing library of expert-designed drills and programs for all levels and sports, like soccer, basketball, tennis, hockey, and more!
