NBA player benefits

NBA Clippers center Chris Kaman hopes to become a spokesman for neurofeedback after being mistakenly diagnosed with ADHD. Kaman’s brain was being overmedicated and he would forget plays or try to do too many things at the same time. Noticing the problem, Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy even instituted a rule limiting how many times Chris Kaman could dribble the ball in the post before making his move to the basket.

Last year, Kaman learned of the significant improvement in his cousin’s grades, attitude, and overall outlook on life after receiving neurofeedback training. Based on this, he decided to try it himself. Now in his fifth year in the NBA, he ranks among the league leaders in rebounds, blocked shots and double-doubles, and is one of the leading candidates for the league’s most improved player award. Chris Kaman is convinced that neurofeedback sessions played a significant role in his dramatic improvement.
