The Cognitive Athletics Revolution

In this episode, Dr. Daniel Laby zooms out from drills and techniques and explores the future of sports vision training.

He breaks down the three major forces reshaping how athletes train their brains — democratization of tools, adaptive intelligence, and neuroplasticity acceleration, and explains why we’re at the most exciting turning point in human performance.
