How it Works
The FocusBand is used for:
1. Learning – The FocusBand monitors that you are in a calm & receptive mental state so you can comprehend & store what is being taught.
2. Practice - The FocusBand monitors that you consistently practice in the relevant mental state for the various stages of your performance routine.
3. Performance – The FocusBand monitors that you still perform at your optimum arousal level when under simulated tournament conditions & pressures

Most athletes and coaches are aware that mental practice is a key to success.
However, not many are aware that the left brain can only process 40 instructions per second while the right brain can process 11 million instructions per second.
That’s right … the right brain can process 11 million instructions per second
The left brain is the mathematical, thinking & talking side of the brain, whereas the right side is the intuitive side and thinks in pictures.
Unfortunately, a lot of golfers get stuck in the left side of the brain when they are playing golf. That is, they are thinking too much about technical information
The FocusBand is built on revolutionary Asian scientific discoveries involving a mental state called Mushin. We need to firstly train in the Mushin state and also play in the Mushin state
Here’s why
When you are practising in the Mushin state you are storing motor skill patterns (your swing) in the subconscious long term memory, so that you are able to retrieve this information when you are playing under tournament conditions.
The Focusband is a tool to teach and train you to do just this
How?
The FocusBand measures your arousal state while performing a swing routine and is able to measure and highlight to the golfer areas that are causing mental blockages.
The Focusband instructor can now apply drills to ensure the golfer is now free of mental chatter and is able to Focus and swing with minimal anxiety and tension.
When you start a motor pattern from the same arousal level as when it was practised, the motor pattern will be able to be retrieved and executed with accuracy and consistency
The mind/brain controls the body movements so when there is a problem in the golf swing these scenarios need to be investigated:
Brain was not given a clear enough picture of the intent. Neural system was not able to pass the message on to the muscles due not knowing the pathway to the intended muscles and/or it took too long to get the message to the musclesMuscles were not physically able to perform the motion due to poor conditioning or they were given the incorrect instructions
