Bolzfabrik, a Cologne, Germany-based company that creates technological solutions for football coaches, trainers and players, announced a long-term partnership with Beyond Sports earlier this month. A Dutch company, Beyond Sports offers virtual reality training in a number of formats, including spatial awareness, decision-making in match and high-pressure scenarios, and high-density (series of situations in short time span). Users of Beyond Sports’ services can run with pre-made training programs or they can customize a regimen based on a team’s strategy, coaching methods, a specific player’s needs, and other options.
Often, practice is viewed as a physical activity, a method for athletes to run through game situations on the field and even to get stronger or more fit for their sport.
