BUILDING PLAYERS AND TEAMS FROM YOUTH TO PRO
YOUR TEAM. YOUR DATA.
SERVED UP.
Can your brain keep up with the action on the court?
Thousands of decisions happen each volley as 12 players hustle for the ball. A player’s cognitive skillset determines their concentration, speed, and accuracy.
As the talent level increases, decision-making becomes critical to winning.
S2 gives volleyball players an edge by quantifying the cognitive skills they use on the court – giving them insights and tailored training to improve their performance.
UNDERSTANDING S2
AND HOW TO USE IT
INSIDE THE MIND OF A HITTER
A voluntary blink of an eye takes about 150 milliseconds. And a 90-mile-per-hour fastball crosses the plate in just three blinks. There's no margin for error in the split-second decisions made, which are the difference between a swing and a miss, a foul ball, or an out. Here is what happens during the process of a pitch...
0–100
MILLISECONDS
Hitters begin processing critical visual details about the ball as it exits the hand – how fast hitters process these details impacts how quickly they recognize the pitch
100–200
MILLISECONDS
Hitters make rapid judgments about the velocity and trajectory of the ball – this processing impacts how well they predict where and when the ball will cross the hitting zone
200–300
MILLISECONDS
Hitters are deciding to commit the swing or to take – the brain activates an inhibition command to stop the impulse to swing OR sends swing timing signals to optimize bat-to-ball contact
300-400
MILLISECONDS
Hitters who have committed the swing can make small swing and timing adjustments to optimize contact – however, hitters will have little chance to check their swing at this point
