How should I interpret the Focus Over Time Metric on my dashboard?
The Focus Over Time graph shows how well an athlete can maintain attention during a focus test. It tracks how quickly the athlete responds to a white light signal throughout the entire test.This chart appears when you filter for “Agility” on your personal dashboard.
Why is this important? In baseball, an athlete’s ability to stay focused is key to their performance. For example, a fielder needs to stay alert and ready to react to the ball, even though most of the time nothing happens, and the ball is rarely hit in their direction. The Focus Over Time graph helps identify how well an athlete can maintain attention during a task. It shows if, at any point during the test, the athlete’s focus starts to fade.
How can I use this?
1. Track When Your Focus Drops: If you notice a dip in your response times, it can help you identify the point at which your focus starts to fade. This helps you understand which parts of the test or game may be challenging for maintaining focus.
2. Work on Mental Endurance: If you notice that your focus tends to drop at certain points, use that information to improve your mental stamina. Practice drills that require sustained focus such as tracking targets with neurotracker, or try techniques like mindfulness, meditation, taking a nap, or taking a break to help you stay sharp and focused for longer periods, both in training and during games.
