Performance Rewired

In this episode, we talk about the perception of neuro training as brain ‘tricks’ and discuss how it's a process and approach that creates changes in the brain to improve physical performance for the long-run. We share recent experiences from workshops and clinics and the process behind designing and refining programs for groups and individuals. Key topics Why neuro training should be part of...

In this episode of Performance Rewired, we dive into the essential role of proprioception in athletic and artistic performance, exploring how elite performers might still have gaps in their sensory awareness and how to optimize this critical system. We share insights from our coaching experiences as well as practical exercises to improve proprioceptive capacity. Key Topics: The importance of havin...

Discover how neuro performance training can enhance athletic and dance performance, prolong careers, and optimize movement efficiency. This episode explores the integration of neuro training into high-performance routines, emphasizing the importance of training the brain and nervous system alongside physical strength. In this episode The hierarchy of movement: Why the brain's input (visual, v...

Discover why the vestibular system, a crucial set of organs in the inner ear, can significantly impact athletic performance, balance, and movement. Learn how fine-tuning this system can lead to rapid improvements in stability, flexibility, and overall coordination, as well as reduce spinal tension. In this episode: The role of the vestibular system in balancing and spatial orientation How vestibul...

In this episode, we explore how visual skills, particularly convergence, impact movement,  performance, and injury prevention in dance and athletics. You’ll find practical insights into  diagnosing convergence issues and techniques to improve visual capacity for better performance.  Main Topics: The role of convergence in movement and performance  How to self-assess convergence skills  Insight int...

Discover how your eyes influence movement, performance, and overall physical health. This episode explores the deep connection between vision and motor skills, providing practical insights into improving visual skills for athletes and movers alike. Key topics The critical role of vision in motor development and movement efficiency How early eye tracking (smooth pursuit) influences locomotion The c...

In this episode, we explore how the frontal lobe influences movement, decision-making, and inhibition, with insights from dancers, gymnasts, and case studies. We discuss practical drills and exercises to activate the frontal lobe, improve movement initiation, and reduce unnecessary tension, enhancing athletic performance and everyday function. Key topics: The anatomy of the frontal lobe: primary m...

Discover how understanding and training the cerebellum can dramatically enhance coordination, balance, and agility—especially for dancers, gymnasts, athletes and movement enthusiasts. Join us as we explore the brain's tiny yet mighty structure that controls precision, muscle tone, and error correction in movement. In this episode: The cerebellum's core functions: accuracy, balance, and c...

Welcome to the trailer for Performance Rewired! In this episode we talk about our backgrounds, why we wanted to start a podcast, and how we hope to educate gymnasts, dancers, coaches and instructors on what it actually means to apply neuroscience to these pursuits, how you and your students can benefit, and share practical ways to do it. Things we covered: •Why we started a podcast •Our background...
