Bring elite-academy training home: the cognitive-motor system Valencia CF uses is built on A-Champs ROXProX — the same neuroscience-based reaction technology, available for your own sessions.
Revolutionizing Youth Soccer Training:
At A-Champs, we are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking partnership with La Academia VCF, the esteemed youth academy of Valencia CF.
La Academia VCF has been recognized as the fourth-best academy in Europe for player development aimed at competing in the top 5 European leagues, according to the latest report from the CIES Football Observatory.
This collaboration signifies a significant leap forward in utilizing cutting-edge technology to enhance the training and development of young soccer talents.
Innovative Technology at Ciutat Esportiva de Paterna
La Academia VCF has embraced our state-of-the-art equipment, including the Rebounder Performance Set and intelligent sensors, namely the ROXPro and ROXProX. These tools are set to revolutionize the technical training of young soccer players, combining cognitive stimulation with an element of fun.
Motivation and Scientific Precision
At A-Champs, we believe in two key advantages of our technology. Firstly, our system transforms training into a game-like experience, fostering motivation among players. Secondly, and most crucially, it is rooted in neuroscience, focusing on the perceptual aspects of player movements through the eyes and ears.
"Perceiving, processing, and reacting—our system aligns with the scientific principles that govern the players' cognitive-motor skills," explains Kilian Saekel, CEO and Co-founder of A-Champs.
Versatility in Training Options
Jordi Hidalgo, the identity methodology lead at La Academia VCF, emphasizes the versatility of the A-Champs system. It goes beyond physical training, incorporating technical and tactical aspects. Coaches can design circuits to monitor player progress throughout the year, conduct speed tests, and even work with players in rehabilitation processes.
Hidalgo attests, "The A-Champs tool, supported by software and a user-friendly app, allows us to track and analyze player data at various stages. The multitude of variables enables us to measure performance levels and compare results across different age groups."
The same tech, scaled to your setup. The A-Champs ROXProX brings Valencia's perceive-process-react training to academies, coaches and individual players alike.
