Up to 30% improvement in orienteering ability
With, among other things, up to 30% improved orienteering ability, measured in football clubs at the absolute top level, which have used Intelligym, the road is paved for success. Players trained in the system make better decisions and fewer mistakes on the field during combat. In addition, they react faster in transition situations, research conducted by Intelligym itself shows.
Top clubs' youth academies use the method
According to Intelligym itself, more than 11,000 athletes worldwide spend twice 30 minutes a week, already using technology, including top clubs from the German Bundesliga, national teams and clubs in Dutch top football, including AZ Alkmaar and the youth academy at PSV Eindhoven. Hidde van Boven, who is the coach at the youth academy in the Dutch big club, says on Intelligym's own website :? Intelligym is the perfect complement to our regular training sessions on the court. Players like it because they train their brain in a subconscious, competitive and fun way.

One of the elite athletes praising the technology to the skies is the Shakhtar Donetsk player, Israeli Manor Solomon: - Game intelligence, is one of the most important areas to be able to perform in top football.

Although at first glance it might seem like a nice round of sales talk from Intelligym, then the learning method has been under scrutiny at, among others, Cologne Sports University and VU Amsterdam , which measured the method's effectiveness against more traditional learning methods such as threshing football matches for analysis of these. The results of these studies showed significant progress in the ability of the players, two control groups in the category U14 and U17, to make decisions as well as their overall performance on the field.
