How the MotivAider® Helps Athletes Improve Their Performance

The MotivAider improves athletic performance by allowing athletes to control their own mental state. The MotivAider automatically keeps the athlete's attention riveted on virtually any chosen performance objective or goal. It can be used to keep the athlete focused on a particular thought, image, feeling, motive, or instruction.

In addition to enabling athletes to control their own mental state during physical practice or play, the MotivAider can be used to automatically prompt mental rehearsal throughout the day.

How it works

The MotivAider uses a private signal — a pulsing vibration — to periodically focus the athlete's attention on making virtually any desired change. For example, the signal might automatically remind the athlete to breathe slowly and deeply; to swing smoothly; to follow through; to be aggressive; or to imagine an appreciative home crowd.

To use the MotivAider, the athlete simply assigns a specific chosen meaning or message to the MotivAider's signal and then sets the device to send the signal — and therefore the message — as often as required to get the best results. The MotivAider can be set to send signals as often as once every few seconds.

The MotivAider enables athletes to:

• Quickly and consistently implement changes in technique and mental state.
• Single-mindedly focus on improving one aspect of performance at a time. Experiment with performance-enhancing techniques and mental strategies.
• Increase "practice" by facilitating mental rehearsal throughout the day.
• Neutralize mental and physical habits that interfere with good performance.
• Control mental attitude and arousal to match the requirements of each performance situation.
