Players / Coaches / Athletes... Make up for lost time with @OKKULO1
‼️ Watch the reactions of the GK in the first half of the video. They look almost fake!
❌ Deliberately slow
❌ Sluggish
❌ As if he’s not even trying to save the ball
⚠️ That’s what happens when first exposed to the system. It has the ability to make you look like you’ve never played the sport!
👁 🧠 The eyes / brain have not adapted to the environment... yet.
The second part of the video:
✅ He’s starting to react a little quicker
✅ Starts to drive into saves
✅ Starts to catch able to catch!
The athlete has had to speed their reactions up by around 20% to adapt to the environment
This state of the art system has the ability to save a lot of time during pre season getting players back up to speed!
The Okkulo lighting conditions take advantage of biological processes in the eyes and brain that delay our perception under reduced illumination.
Sports training under these conditions require speeding up of response times that translates into improved performance that can be the difference between “what if” and delivered results.
This isn’t just for GK’s. Any position or any sport that requires reactions / hand eye coordination will benefit

It has been shown that on average elite level GKs typically perform 4-10 ‘defensive actions’ per game, all at high intensity.

These actions are very short in duration, often with long intervals in between them. Therefore, whist physical fatigue may not be the issue for GKs during match-play, the ability to concentrate and focus for those prolonged periods, may be the deciding factor.

In my previous post I highlighted that research indicates that GKs energy expenditure was approximately 600 kcal.d-1 less than that observed in outfield players, for example, approximately 2900 kcal vs 3500 kcal per day.
GKs don’t hop to set. They hop to self organise their body to dive.
You see a “mistake” and look at twitter you’ll find countless theories regarding why that GK conceded which always leads to a technical / physical error.
But your body will only produce an action as a reaction to what it perceives.
Is the chosen action wrong because of what the brain is telling them to do as opposed to their body “unable to do something” due to set up?
Set up changes according to situation / what you perceive.
So how do people differentiate between anatomical and mental “issues”?
Remember this is just thoughts! But hopefully this thread can give others something else to think about before jumping to a physical fix.
