Vector® Cognitive Performance
To provide a metric for information processing we created the Vector® cognitive performance quotient. This comparesan athlete’s speed with and without information processing elements. This data not only demonstrates information processing delay while executing athletic drills, but also measures improvement as the athlete trains with the Vector® Ball.
EXAMPLE CVT DRILLS
Wall Drill:
Throw Vector® Ball against a wall and catch it with hand corresponding to the Ball’s color when it strikes the wall. For example, if the Ball is green when it strikes the wall catch it with your left hand , if red – right hand , if blue – both hands . You may also choose to change the color/hand association and add information processing elements. For example, associate the colors with numbers (Red = 1, Green = 2, Blue = 3) and have the athlete perform simple math by adding the colors as they perform the drill. As Always – Go As Fast As Your Brain Can.
Floor Drill:
Bounce pass Vector® Ball to partner and catch it with hand corresponding to the Ball’s color when it strikes the floor. For example, if the Ball is green when it strikes the floor then catch it with your left hand, if red – right hand, if blue – both hands. You may also choose to change the color/hand association and add information processing elements. For example, have the athlete move to a cone based on the color of the Vector® Ball from the previous bounce. This adds working memory and additional agility to the drill. As Always – Go As Fast As Your Brain Can.
Shuttle Drill:
Bounce Vector® Ball on the floor and athlete moves to corresponding cone based on the Ball’s color when it strikes the floor. For example, if the Ball is green when it strikes the floor then move to the cone on the left, if red – right cone, if blue – middle cone. You may also choose to change the color/cone association and add information processing elements. For example, bounce the Vector® Ball more than once and have the athlete move to multiple cones. This adds working memory and additional agility to the drill. As Always – Go As Fast As Your Brain Can
