A Proven Add-on to Traditional Training

You train hard, but results are slow. This is because the brain is in charge of physical change.

Our program is the 15-minute amplifier switch on everything you're already doing.

Athletes prep their minds and nervous systems on their own time before and after practice via a mobile-app gamified prescription individualized to their needs each day.

  1. 1Mind
  2. 2Nervous System
  3. 3Muscle
  4. 4Performance

Priming and adapting for precision of movement, resilience of mind, and health of the brain. Allowing athletes to get MORE out of the practices and training you’ve designed for them.

“Helped me be sharper and more decisive on the field. Faster, stronger, smarter, and more confident.”

“It changed my perspective about training and helped me find work that gets the same results with better intent.”

“Cortex Flex training has helped me in both football and powerlifting by allowing me to access fast twitch fibers that lead to explosive movements on the field and a sub 1400 powerlifting total.”

“Cortex has helped me develop a stronger mindset. I'm more locked in, handle pressure better, and approach my training with way more intention.”

“Cortex Flex has not only greatly improved my athletic abilities such as explosiveness. It has also built up my mental resilience and taught me how to prepare for any given situation.”

“Mentally I felt more confident in my physical preparation. My mind only thought about going one day at a time, attacking one rep at a time with full intent.”

Training the Next Generation

We're training athletes to excel both on and off the field through neuroscience-driven methods.

Peak Athletic Performance

Rapid improvements in strength, speed, and power metrics through brain-based training that optimizes neuromuscular coordination.

Academic Excellence

Improved focus and cognitive performance leading to measurable GPA increases and stronger academic outcomes.

Mental Resilience

Reduced performance anxiety and improved intrinsic motivation for athletics, academics, and life outside of sports.

How It Works

In one app – everything your athletes need to show up to training, practice, and life as theirBEST self.BESTMOST MOTIVATEDMOST FOCUSEDMOST CONFIDENTMOST RESILIENTBESTBEST self.

Every Day, Amplified in the CortexFlex app

AM Primer, PM Adaptor, and nutrition in one daily routine, with a health bar that shows how consistently they're showing up.

A quick check-in before they start. Injuries and weight goals carry over, so each day's program fits how their body feels.

Calibrate performance identity, prime resilient thought patterns, and activate fast twitch movement pathways.

Frequently Asked Questions

Safety, Science & How It Works

Common questions from athletes, coaches, and parents.

Brain-based training helps the nervous system command movement and thinking more effectively, supporting athletic efficiency, motivation, and confidence while improving progression in response to training and practice itself.

AMPLIFY is designed to run alongside strong programs like yours and to prepare the athletes between sessions to be maximally receptive to the physical adaptation and learning for which your training system is designed.

AMPLIFY should be used year-round for best results. The program is designed to assist your athletes in showing up as their sharpest selves mentally and physically in every context of their development.

The program takes about fifteen minutes in the morning and fifteen in the evening.

It will. Our pilot athletes have experienced faster progress in their physical metrics alongside GPA improvement and improved identity clarity.

Just a willing mind and a mobile phone.
