Seth Joyner, former Arizona Cardinals linebacker and Super Bowl XXXIII winner, has always understood that “the brain will direct the body to do what it already knows how to do.”
After years of doling out powerhouse tackles, sizzling sacks and taking his own hits, Joyner was curious about the effect on his brain. He came to Brain State Technologies to work directly with founder Lee Gerdes. Together, they monitored and measured Seth’s brainwave patterns to identify areas where balance, harmony and resilience could be improved. After several sessions, Seth noticed improvements in his sleep, clarity of thought, speed, strength and endurance.
“Lee Gerdes’ discovery is changing everything we thought we knew about the human brain,” said Joyner. “After experiencing Brainwave Optimization myself, I understand why he believes that the human brain has infinite possibilities. I’m sharing my story because I believe there are so many people who don’t know about this technology and for whom it can have enormous benefit.” Joyner actively advocates that young people, high-performance athletes, and retired players pay attention to what trauma – physical and emotional – can do to their brains and pursue new modalities that can bring the brain back to optimal performance.
“The Brain is the master key. Because the brain will direct the body to do what it already knows how to do. And as far as sports are concerned, I’ve seen the natural evolution, the growth.
When I first started playing guys would come to training camp to get into shape. Nowadays if you come into training camp to get into shape you are out of a job. So you are in shape all year round, you’re training all the time. And I feel like the human body, I know the human body has limits you can only go so far.
So what’s the next frontier? What’s the next level? How do we take performance to the next level? I’m not even talking about performance enhancing drugs. I’m just talking about how do you naturally get your body to supersede what it’s doing now? And I am thoroughly convinced, it’s all in your head. If you can get this, the minute you can get this balanced up, make the changes here. Then you can make your body do things that you never dreamed it could do.”
