Episode Synopsis

This episode from Sports Vision by Dr Laby argues that learning to juggle can improve sports performance. The episode explains that the human brain is constantly changing, a phenomenon known as neuroplasticity. Dr Laby specifically points to a 2004 study that showed that juggling increased the thickness of the brain in areas related to visual processing. This increased thickness, according to the researchers, can benefit sports performance because it aids in the tracking of moving objects, a critical skill for many sports.
