The Sereias da Vila are incorporating the Storm Method into their high-performance program. Developed by Storm Neuro Training, a company specializing in preparing athletes for quick decision-making, focus, and reading the game, this neurocognitive training methodology brings cognition into the players’ daily training and preparation routines.
Unlike a purely physical or tactical approach, the Storm Method takes an athlete-centered perspective. The methodology combines visual and cognitive skills assessment and training with cutting-edge technology, such as the Sensory Station and stroboscopic glasses from Senaptec, a leading U.S. company in this field, alongside virtual reality training, to develop decision-making, reaction time, attention, and eye-body coordination.
One of the program’s main priorities is turning data into progress. Each stage of training generates information that the Storm team interprets and translates into a detailed assessment of each athlete’s cognitive development, enabling individualized training and ongoing monitoring.
“The partnership with Storm Neuro Training represents another step toward enhancing our work, bringing technology and data into the process to maximize the players’ individual development and contribute to the team’s collective progress. We want to provide the Sereias da Vila with tools that expand their abilities and allow us to keep striving for high-level football,” says Thais Picarte, women’s football coordinator at Santos FC.
“In elite sport, the decisions an athlete makes in fractions of a second make a difference. Our goal is to train that ability on an individual basis, using data and technology, as part of the Sereias da Vila’s preparation,” explains Alexandre Alves, a coach at Storm Neuro Training.
The introduction of the Storm Method to the Sereias da Vila marks the partnership between Santos FC and Storm Neuro Training, bringing a uniquely developed methodology that combines cognition, technology, and high performance into the players’ daily routines.
