Episode 55 - Neuro-ball

A slightly different topic for the podcast this week, as we explore the role of neuroscience within football.

Yes, you read that correctly. We take a closer look Neuro11, who are a scientific group founded by Niklas Hausler and Patrick Hantschke. The group is based in Potsdam of Germany, and they develop mental strength training programmes for professional sports.

We chat about their role within Liverpool Football Club and how they have helped with the club’s free kick and penalty taking. Let us know your thoughts!
