The science behind the game

Research has shown that professional and semi-pro athletes are better at reading how plays will unfold, and only the best amongst them are able to accurately predict what will happen next. Amateur players and fans who don't actively play fair far worse at this task when compared to their professional counterparts. However, some studies have shown that this skill can be trained via interaction with related game film.

Sports researcher and former Director of Analytics at the Oklahoma City Thunder, Ben Alamar, says:

"Perceptual skill is crucial in all sports. It's what differentiates elite players from those that are simply athletic. Being able to test an athlete's perceptual skill adds a whole new dimension to player evaluation, and Krossover's sIQ app does just that."
