Sevilla FC showcases its applied neuroscience initiative for the academy
The project aims to promote the holistic development of the club’s young footballers through the application of scientific knowledge about brain function.
Sevilla FC participated on November 11 and 12 in the Talent Development Summit in Graz, an international gathering that brings together experts in innovation and talent development in the sports sector. Within this framework, the club presented its Applied Neuroscience program for the academy, a pioneering initiative designed to enhance the overall development of its players through the study of the brain and the optimization of cognitive skills.
During the event, Antonio Gutiérrez López, head of the initiative at the club, explained the benefits of this educational approach, which aims to provide youth players with tools to improve decision-making, increase concentration, and strengthen mental resilience. All of these factors are essential for sporting performance and reinforce Sevilla FC’s commitment to innovation and the well-being of its future talents.
In addition to Sevilla FC, the Talent Development Summit brought together prominent figures in world football, including FIFA and several top European clubs such as Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Borussia Mönchengladbach, Benfica, Brighton, and Club Brugge. All attendees had the opportunity to gain first-hand insight into this innovative program, which represents a significant step forward in integrating science into the development of the Sevilla FC academy.
