Presenting: Training the Athlete Brain: Perception-Action Integration for Performance Description: Sport competition requires an athlete to extract and process information in a constantly changing field of play to subsequently make quick, accurate decisions and to successfully execute movement (e.g. perception-action integration). Traditional approaches to rehabilitation and performance may not be encompassing perceptual, cognitive, and motor integration to optimize neuromuscular performance. Developing an understanding of modern strategies and use of technology may help clinicians and performance coaches connect the brain and body to meet the demands of sport. . . . #RCCSSC #RCCSSCMOVE #conference #virtualconference #sports #movement #professionaldevelopment #coaching #performance #athletes #athleticperformance #Toronto #YYZ #Ontario #Vancouver #YVR #YYC #Canada #sportCanada #Canadasport #athlete #unitedstates #sportschiro #chiropractor #functionalrangesystems #languageofcoaching #artofcoaching #physiotherapist #athletictherapist #functionalrangeconditioning
