Brain Maps for Gymnasts with Yuka Sugiura, Part 1
We are brainwashed. Society rewards the best students, musicians and athletes, so kids need to work hard, be tough, and achieve. Hurry, don't miss anything, try harder, go faster, do better! We want winners!
It's too much... It causes children all kinds of pain, injury and fear. Kids are suffering. It's time we look closer and examine ourselves, because we are stressing kids' minds and bodies.
And GUESS WHAT! There 's another way. It's called Neuroperformance Training and Yuka Sugiura is the genie in the bottle in gymnastics. Today she is teaching us Brain Mapping for Gymnasts. Yuka describes eye movements and small exercises to release tension and guarding, and like magic, gymnasts tumble straighter, jump higher, and become more flexible. The brain's map of the body becomes clearer and sharper and suddenly gymnasts perform better! Neuroperformance Training is an approach to injury prevention, rehab and performance that activates the brain and nervous system to change the body. Listen and follow because this is a healthier, smarter path with your kids to feel better and achieve their goals.
This is Part 1 of a 2-part show.
