All Training is Not Physical by Dr. Rayma Ditson-Sommer | ASCA Talk #010


Listen Later

 This week's American Swimming Coaches Association talk comes from Dr. Rayma Ditson Sommer. Her presentation "All Training is Not Physical" focuses on the importance of understanding and utilizing brain waves in training. The talk covers the speaker's experience in working with attention deficit clients, including Olympic Champion, Gary Hall Junior.

Dr. Rayma highlights the critical differences between attention, relaxation, and focus, as well as the role of brainwaves. Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta. In determining a person's ability to perform at their best. Remember what Romain Barnier said last week about relaxation...

Dr. Rayma also shares examples of practical techniques to help athletes improve their focus and achieve optimal performance. Such as unrolling the ears for bilateral hearing, speaking into the right ear for direct communication. And utilizing neurotechnology with light and sound to achieve a relaxation response. These methods have proven to be effective not only in improving athletes' performance but also in helping them better manage stress, anxiety, and overall well-being.
