Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: How We’re Disrupting SportsTech with Reactive Training for the Masses
[1:39] – Yaniv shares something that he believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.
- People think that building a physical product has to be decorated or different. Instead of building separate devices for a niche market, build a versatile product that adapts to athletes, kids, patients, trainers and coaches. Versatility is the key to a crowded market.
[2:37] – Yaniv talks about what is reactive training and why is it becoming essential for athletes of all levels.
- Athletes in all levels are required to identify, visually process and physically take action while thinking what is happening in a matchWinning or losing depends on how they react fast in teir sport.
- Reactive training is the athletes’ way to train, measure and improve their reaction time and improve their decision making in a split of a second. It is the ability to train your body and mind to react faster.
[4:05] – Yaniv gives an example of a pro athlete that use this.
- Lamine Yamal , the Spanish professional footballer move his feet fast to respond to visual cues on the field.
[5:26] – Yaniv talks about how reactive training benefit entrepreneurs who work from home.
- Entrepreneurs are always required to be sharp and concentrated to make the right decisions and eliminate fear, hesitation and be in control of their actions and thoughts.

[6:57] – Yaniv tells us the AHA moment that led to the creation of BlazePod.
- It started when he wanted to create an interactive playground for kids. One day, he saw Ronaldo training on something to improve his reaction time. He looked ou for that product and he saw that is was expensive and not accessible for the mass market and that reactive training is only available fro elite athletes. He realized that it is a huge opportunity to open a new category and make the reactive training methodology accessible for all.
