Athletic Exellence

Expert in the Raviv method, developer of the Raviv Program for Excellence in Sports .
The Raviv program for excellence in sports is an advanced program that improves skills, high concentration, strong attention, multi tasking and stress control. Our program enables athletes to achieve optimal mental regulation and realize their personal potential to the maximum using various tools. The Raviv program is suitable for groups and individuals in all fields of sport.
We have applied this program in Israel with great success on numerous athletes
Today we understand that the brain sends messages using the nervous system. The movement of the limbs is achieved by muscles that receive these messages and act accordingly. Our program relies on the assumption that muscles send back messages to the brain using the same system. The brain then responds and creates neurological sub structures to better adjust and cope with the new environment.
Raviv Method for Excellence in Sports consists of three basic factors.
1. Stimulating the brain and creating new neural paths that are needed for learning.
All brains and especially those of leading athletes have gaps between the various fields in which they operate. We find that we are able to identify those gaps and bridge them with a pinpoint interference. Our program is based on gradual motion practice that "coaches" the brain to full cooperation between all its sectors. This is followed by more specific exercises that enable the creation of new neural sub structures.
2. Coaching the brain and helping it improve it's two dimensional perception.
This type of perception is necessary in order to strengthen learning ability, planning strategy, organization, directional perception, space orientation, linking sets of ideas and the perception of time.
3. Controlling the brain waves.
High level of brain wave activity enables you to concentrate for a long time. A low level of brain wave activity demands a great deal of effort for the same activity, thus causing low concentration. The ability to work in an alternating and adjusted brain level means: better multitasking and better self adjustment. Our program gives the individual the ability to increase brain wave activity in order to have better focus and control or decrease brain wave activity in order to relax and prevent anxieties. These new abilities help athletes improve cognitive functions in all aspects of sport and life.
"Imagine what happens inside your head when you have to make a decision. You receive information from the different brain functions: facts, opinions, thoughts, memories and predicting outcomes. You arrange the fractions of information add reason test possible results and instruct a response. Phases of this process are based on motorial functions, organizing by sequence, adding analyzing and instructing, the neural networks that work within those processes are those that work in motorial processes."
“… parts of the brain that are used to organize sequences and timing of cognitive function are the same parts that organize a sequence and timing of physical actions”
