Episode 16: Input vs. Output - Selecting Better Input Improves Performance

In this episode, we explore how the nervous system processes sensory inputs and turns it into movement, and how targeted changes to those inputs can affect performance. Follow along as we discuss assessments and training approaches involving vision, vestibular function, proprioception, attention, and context.

Key topics

  • How sensory input influences movement and performance

  • Why vision, vestibular function, and proprioception are common assessment areas

  • How attention, thoughts, and environmental cues can affect performance

  • How assessments help practitioners choose targeted drills

  • Why the right exercise, dosage, and progression matter
