Our Glossary - (Even) More Knowledge

Have you checked out our Glossary on the COGNIGOALS website? We're especially proud of this extensive collection of terms and scientific backgrounds. It explains all the concepts mentioned in our exercises from A to Z. Despite our practical approach, these concepts are grounded in solid scientific findings.

Your Go-To Resource for Motor-Cognitive Football Training

On our website and throughout our course modules, you’ll discover numerous terms from the realms of cognition and movement. You might be familiar with expressions like "Scanning" and "Anticipation," but what about "Cognitive add-ons," "Chunking," or "Inhibition traps"? Even the idea of "Game Intelligence" has more depth than it first seems.

In our courses, such as the COGNIGOALS Football Coach, we describe scientific backgrounds without making our practical approach too "scientific." To avoid overloading our exercise descriptions with technical terms, we created the Glossary. This way, you as a coach can look up detailed backgrounds on specific terms without losing focus on your training.

Science – Our Constant Inspiration

High-quality, relevant sources are crucial for any academic work, including COGNIGOALS modules. We are fortunate to have the support of Professor Thomas Schack and Ludwig Vogel from Bielefeld University. They work in the field of neurocognitive psychology and are part of the university’s "Neurocognition and Action" research group.

One of their research areas explores motor actions and their automated planning, such as overcoming reliance on a dominant side. These insights and more are explained in our Glossary and supported by literature.

How to Access the Glossary

Simply create a free COGNIGOALS account to gain access to the complete Glossary. This way, you can get a taste of our extensive knowledge even before purchasing and stay "up-to-date" with new terms and scientific backgrounds.

We wish you a lot of fun on your journey with us! Don't forget: The Brain is Plastic!
