My article has to do with the sport of soccer and whether playing various video games improve the players' performance on the field.
A couple of years ago, the coaching staff at Hoffenheim, a top flight soccer club in Germany's Bundesliga, requested that team psychologist Dr. Jan Mayer find a way to teach players to think faster. With the pace of the game increasing over the last 15 years, players must adjust both physically and mentally.
At Hoffenheim, every player has been forced to go through a series of diagnostic tests before the season. Some players are skeptical at first, but they come around once they hear about how many great players in today's game have scored very high on these types of tests.
In the end, Mayer believes that there is no way to test the improvement in a player's performance if they play video games such as FIFA 15 or Call of Duty. However, video games could the difference, and at the very least to no harm.
In my opinion, video games have nothing to do with improvement in sports like soccer. Either you are born with this special skill set or your not. Players like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were born to play the game of soccer. People like me, who got cut from his high school soccer team, were obviously meant to pursue other interests in life. Again, video games play a very little role in improvement and performance.
