Often times, the activity in the brain can be higher, but if it is very synchronized in that last second before they start their motion, they perform well. Eventually, the left side of the brain needs to quiet, so that you are going to go more with automatic processing for performance. Then, they’ll get finished with their decision-making and getting their motor program in place, and then from there, they walk up (still doing important processing) setting the club, looking to see if the alignment is correct etcetera, which all involves both sides of the brain.


which is going to be more of a right-brain activity. “I kept seeing this pattern of synchronicity so as the left side of the brain is quieting in the last second right before people move, the right may become slightly more active, but what you achieve is balance or synchronicity in the brain, and it was the last second of data that was predictive of performance.”īehind the ball they may be seeing that shot, assessing, conditions, etc.

No matter if it is gun-shooting, archery, golf, breaking a board in karate the left hemisphere of the brain should quiet in the seconds just prior to moving.
