00:00If an athlete fails to control his or her mental state,
00:04he or she will think about his or her safety in a competition,
00:07or anything that interferes with his or her mental state before, during, and after the competition.
00:14If they can handle the situation perfectly,
00:16it is certain that the mental state of the athlete is related to the attitude of a professional athlete,
00:22as well as experience.
00:24However, there are many examples of professional athletes who end up disappointed
00:28due to their failure to balance their mind during the competition.
00:32Psychological expert at the Institute of National Health,
00:34Hao-Pek Ngor, asserts that the real enemy of an athlete is themselves.
00:39This makes it wise for them to control their mind as the main key to control the situation.
00:48Before that, I had athletes who couldn't sit still,
00:53they were always nervous.
00:55After practicing using this equipment,
00:58they were able to calm down,
01:01and their performance improved.
01:04Let's say we have been practicing with them for 6 to 8 months,
01:13after 8 months, their progress was very good.
01:17And then, they didn't use it for more than 6 months,
01:22because they wanted to see how long their performance would last.
01:26So, we can see that they are starting to calm down.
01:32Maybe they are not used to dealing with different pressures,
01:39so they forgot to practice using this equipment.
01:42They can come back if they feel anxious or scared.
01:48So, this is normal.
01:50Too anxious and too confident is not a good sign.
01:54ISN's efforts to bring the Brain Sensing Headband
01:58has helped the country's athletes a lot
02:00since the country's representative faced the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
02:05I haven't heard of any country that uses this equipment,
02:10but in EEG, in other countries,
02:12they usually use it only in the lab setting.
02:18So, I think this is the first time we've seen other countries
02:22use this equipment compared to other countries in Southeast Asia.
02:28Usually, they just sit in a corner and listen to music,
02:34but they don't have this.
02:36If this is integrated into their training and competitions,
02:40it can build the athletes' mental strength
02:44so that they can handle challenging situations.
02:48They will be more confident in solving problems
02:52or challenges during competitions.
