Sport

Engaging in sport can have positive benefits for wellbeing, however, the competitive nature of the sporting world can create stress and pressure for athletes, coaches and sporting club members. 

Sporting bodies have increasingly recognised the importance of prioritising athletes’ wellbeing and the power of mental strategies to enhance performance. 

Bio-Dash complements athletes physical training by developing and improving their mental skills. Athletes learn a range of evidence-based techniques in an engaging and meaningful way to help them gain a mental edge in order to strive for peak performance and to improve wellbeing. 

We are looking to partner with sports organisations to develop tailored versions of Bio-Dash to suit their needs.  Contact us if you would like to support us with this work.

Bio-Dash is unique in that it incorporates the latest biofeedback technology. Biofeedback enables individuals to obtain real time information about internal processes such as brain activity and physiological functioning in response to established wellbeing strategies. Having tangible data about how specific strategies impact their physiology heightens self-awareness and provides a deeper understanding of the processes involved in regulating emotions so that individuals can improve their ability to enhance concentration, manage stress and alleviate anxiety.  

Participants initially learn about biofeedback and stress levels through Biodots which measure changes in skin temperature.  These are included in the foundation program. There is also the option to include more advanced devices that measure brain activity, respiration and skin conductance. 

The opportunity to ‘see’ the connection between mind and body enables students to identify optimal strategies to target stress and enhance wellbeing and is more likely to lead to regular and sustained practice.
