TIMING 4 LIFE GOLFER

"Golf game has improved significantly.  In the Outer Banks I shot over 100, then last weekend shot an 82.  More focused and actually enjoying the game more.  25 yards added onto my yardage." 

 GOLF STUDY

In a golf study (9, 7, 5 iron and driver) there was a 20% gain.  There was a 35% increase for advanced golfers who had consistent swing mechanics. 

GOLF DIGEST, The Beat Is On 

On the PGA Tour, the difference between a golf swing that produces a nice, high draw and a lousy snap hook can be measured in milliseconds. So, it's no surprise that one of the hottest pieces of workout equipment on tour is the Interactive Metronome (IM).

FOX SPORTS, IM for Pro Athletes 

Fox Sports recently referred to the IM program as "training of the future." Leaders in the field of sports training are raising awareness of the need for a practical, proven solution to train key mental aspects of the game. In the report, various pro and college teams such as the NFL (Miami Dolphins), NBA (Miami Heat), NHL (Florida Panthers) and University of Notre Dame Football team shared their positive experiences with the IM training program. Pro athletes reported improvement in focus, concentration and mind speed.   

ESPN College Football Gameday Special, Report on Interactive Metronome

ESPN’s College Football Gameday program featured a special 2.5 minute report on Notre Dame’s use of Interactive Metronome in their off-season workouts...Tyrone Willingham, head coach of Notre Dame remarked, “It’s a program of focus and concentration enhancement that allows a player to better focus all of his energies on the given task.” “If you have the ability to focus and concentrate … then especially in pressure situations you’re much clearer in your thoughts and your view of what’s taking place,” says Willingham “And, therefore it should enhance the ability to make big plays.”​

HOW DOES IM ENHANCE PERFORMANCE?  

​The athlete executes a variety of exercises to a steady and slow beat.  Yes, slow.  (Doing something very slowly requires more concentration and impulse control.)  The responses are instantaneously measured, using extremely sensitive hand and foot sensors.  This occurs several times a minute and the results are displayed instantaneously on a computer screen.  The technology can measure precision of movement to 1,000th of a second.

By responding to the visual information on the computer screen 54 times per minute, the brain is challenged to plan, sequence, and execute more effectively.  

Distractions are soon introduced through the headphones.  The athlete learns to overcome the noise and sustain concentration for long periods of time.

As visual and auditory processing speed is improved, response times becomes faster, while over responses and under responses are smoothed out.  Rhythm, timing, and coordination, typically improve.
Athletes gain the edge when using modern technology to train the brain in order to produce peak physical performance.  Over time, the sessions typically produce measurable gains in both accuracy and consistency.

COVER ALL BASES

Athletes at any level will typically see improvements in these areas:

  Impulse Control     Focus & Concentration   Endurance   Auditory & Visual Processing Speed   Coordination   Rhythm & Timing   Motor Planning and Sequencing   Execution Speed 

TRAIN SMART!

School sports teams, college & university teams, and professional athletes have used IM.
Certified providers such as TIMING 4 LIFE, LLC (Fairfax) work one-on-one with clients, customizing the program to fit each client's abilities.
 

Athletes can train in less than two months.  There are no at-home exercises and for most, the gains are long term.  The program also includes pre-, interim-, and post-IM computerized measurements of achievement.  

BENCHED DUE TO INJURIES?  IM IS A GREAT PROGRAM FOR THE ATHLETE WHO WANTS TO CONTINUE PRECISION TRAINING WHILE RECOVERING FROM INJURIES.
