Why cognitive training?
Cognitive training is the success factor for making the game faster and, above all, more innovative and creative. Prerequisite: The brain of the football player must be systematically trained!
Our "COGNIGOALS Deep Learning" method promotes the targeted development of the networking between the eyes, brain, and body of our players. It trains the interactive control between body and mind. Remember: You can only actively influence the game when you have all of this under control and well-synchronized!

Two-footedness
The foundation. Dazzling dribbles, high-quality one-touch passes and accurate shots - with both feet!
Game intelligence
Can your players really read the game? It's all a question of mental capacity and speed!
Creativity
Finding just one solution isn't enough! All players must come up with multiple, innovative and surprising solutions, and do so under the highest levels of decision-making pressure!

Straight from the Pros
My goal in my career is to make it to the highest level: playing Champions League games for a club and representing either Mexico or USA. On that journey, the COGNIGOALS training has helped me recognize situations better and adapt on and off the field much faster and more effectively."
