[PLACEHOLDER: Add key features, benefits, and outcomes.]
What is NeuroFuel?
NeuroFuel is the leading mental performance training app built by volleyball experts for volleyball athletes.
Just as athletes train strength, speed, conditioning, and technical skills, they can also develop confidence, focus, resilience, composure, and emotional control.
NeuroFuel provides tools and training designed to help athletes perform at their best when it matters most.
Our mission is to help athletes develop mental skills that improve performance in sports and serve them long after their athletic careers are over.
Who created NeuroFuel?
NeuroFuel was created by volleyball coaches and mental performance experts for volleyball athletes. Folks like Kirsten Bernthal Booth (LOVB, Creighton HC - 3x National Coach of the Year), Dr. Larry Widman (Max Out Mindset), Jamie Morrison (Texas A&M - 2025 National Champions, USA Volleyball - three gold medals), Angie Oxley Behrens (Creighton, former Nebraska captain and national champion), Craig Dyer (Notre Dame, Creighton, Pitt) and Jen Armson Dyer (USA Volleyball Commissioner Badger Region & USAV Board Member) got us started and they continue to provide guidance while also remaining major voices of support for developing the mental side of the game.
What is mental performance training?
Mental performance training helps athletes develop confidence, focus, resilience, emotional control, concentration, and the ability to perform consistently under pressure.
Just like physical skills can be trained, mental skills can be practiced and improved over time.
Why does mental performance matter?
Most athletes spend countless hours developing physical skills. Yet many competitions are ultimately influenced by confidence, focus, decision-making, emotional control, resilience, and the ability to handle pressure.
Mental skills often determine whether athletes can consistently perform up to their physical potential.
Is mental performance training the same as sports psychology?
They are related but not identical. Sports psychology is a broad field that includes performance enhancement, mental health considerations, and research.
Mental performance training focuses specifically on practical skills that help athletes improve confidence, focus, resilience, and performance.
What makes NeuroFuel different?
NeuroFuel treats confidence, focus, resilience, and composure as skills that can be trained and developed—not traits athletes either have or don't have.

Is mental performance training only about winning?

Will this help my child outside of sports?
Yes. The same skills that help athletes perform in competition often help them navigate school, relationships, leadership opportunities, and future careers.
Is NeuroFuel a substitute for therapy or counseling?
No. NeuroFuel focuses on performance-related mental skills and is not a substitute for mental health treatment, counseling, therapy, or medical care.
