The video discusses the benefits of Virtual reality when it comes to sports performance. With the augmented reality practice athletes can prepare mentally before any major event. Being ahead of their competition and keep guard up in any location. Virtual Reality allows any athlete a sense of security of mental repetition that cannot be replicated in a practice setting. The pressures of competition or games can cause mental errors normally but with VR the pressure is lifted by practicing certain scenarios that will help you succeed. The video then talks about anyone that can use this VR headset even if you don’t participate in said sport the augmented reality can give a confidence boost to all. Not only is it realistic it’s beneficial to those who suffer from anxiety especially in performance settings. This changes my question slightly as I might need to focus my research on one sport. However ultimately my thesis question was covered in this video.
