Pranic Ball is a neuro training, brain-focused technique developed by Michel Bruyninckx after more than 24 years
of research, based on brain studies of the professional football players, including
Neymar.

https://loop.frontiersin.org/people/23367/overview

This unique technique aims to provoke creativity and ingenuity to improve the performance of the top professional football players and elite athletes to test how valid is your knowledge in various conditions and how creatively adaptive you are in complex situations
during the game.

His technique empowers the individual
development and elevate sports through BRAIN CENTERED LEARNING.

Mr. Michel Bruyninckx refined brain focus method on collaboration with the Royal Belgian Football Association and
the University of Louvain.

He has been involved as well in research into motor
functioning and sports psychology at the University of Louvain.

It is now considered as a "mind guru" and by some people credited with the development of Belgium's
current crop of world stars! His method helps the players to increase the potential of their brain through this amazing technique.

As a specialist in coordination and running, he was invited by the UEFA to train Europe’s top referees.
