This certificate will only be available to those who have obtained the Cognitive Growth Level I Certificate.
The course will consist of a three-day consecutive campus for a maximum of four participants, held in the golf course where the students of the course usually work as Golf Coaches. For this reason, the trainer will travel on-site.
The purpose of the course will be to provide a detailed understanding, through practical application by golf coaches or two of their students, of the Alcaraz Battery of tests and the content of master classes on rational thinking, risk analysis, decision-making processes, statistics collection based on the decision-making process, and the practical application of complex systems theory in golf and game strategy.
Course available in English, Spanish and Italian.
Content
Multisport Psychomotricity Test
This type of test is designed to evaluate and enhance psychomotor skills across various sports disciplines. It typically assesses coordination, balance, spatial awareness, reaction time, and motor planning, providing a comprehensive view of an individual’s physical and cognitive interaction in different sports scenarios.
Golf Psychomotricity Test
It evaluates the specific psychomotor skills essential for golf performance. It focuses on assessing and developing abilities such as coordination, balance, reaction time, spacial awareness and fine motor skills. This test helps identify areas for improvement and tailor training programs for golfers aiming to optimize their performance.
On-Course Games Test
The on-course games consist of 6 different 9-hole games in which we will analyze various aspects of golfers’ cognitive abilities, such as reasoning, monitoring, and attention, among others. We will learn the order in which each game is applied, the situations we need to create, and what to focus on during the analysis.
Calculation Test
We will learn how to apply the 6 different levels of the calculation test and how to analyze their results.
Cognitive evaluation software Test
We will learn how to assess cognitive abilities and executive functions using specialized software, interpret its results, and compare them with the data obtained from the other tests of the battery.
Cognitive Growth Core Goals Test
We will explain the importance of the Cognitive Growth Core Goals for academic life and sports performance, how to assess them, and how to communicate the results in the best possible way.
Master classes
Master Classes refer to specialized, high-level lessons or sessions, typically taught by experts or highly experienced professionals in a specific field. They are designed to provide deep insights, advanced techniques, and comprehensive knowledge to participants, often through a combination of theoretical explanations and practical application. They will focus on the following areas:
Complex Systems Theory in Golf: Explaining how to apply systems theory to the game of golf, helping players understand the interconnectedness of different aspects of their performance and game strategy.
Rational Thinking: Developing logical reasoning and critical thinking skills for decision-making in golf.
Risk Analysis: Teaching participants how to evaluate and manage risks in competitive environments.
Decision-Making Process: Providing tools and frameworks for improving decision-making, particularly in high-pressure situations.
Statistics in Decision Making: Helping participants understand how to gather, interpret, and apply statistical data to inform decisions.
Cognitive stimulation games
Cognitive stimulation games are activities designed to enhance mental functions such as memory, attention, problem-solving, and decision-making. These games challenge the brain by engaging it in tasks that require focus, strategy, and quick thinking.
