Last month, the Lombardy-based club announced the start of a new partnership with Connectome, a neurotechnology company now looking to apply their work to Serie A’s most exciting project.
Cognitive and physical performance
Through this innovative alliance at the heart of a rapidly rising football project, players will benefit from enhanced study and understanding of their own cognitive performance.
Repeated brain measurements will allow staff to analyse how players respond to different playing scenarios – from the training pitch to matchday.
“We already measure the physical and tactical aspects of performance at a very high level,” explained Como 1907 CTO, Mo Dabbah, via Connectome’s official website.
“The real opportunity now is in better understanding cognitive load and decision-making over time.”
Furthermore, Dabbah continued to highlight that cognitive analysis is essential to achieving high levels of performance in sport.
“Brain health isn’t a ‘nice to have’, it’s fundamental to how players develop, adapt, and perform and it’s an area we’re excited to explore more deeply.”
Transferring data to development
Connectome’s work helps athletes and organisations competing at high levels of sport, ensuring recovery, duty of care and preparation are all at the forefront of operations.
Moreover, through a longitudinal approach to collecting data, Connectome strives to create unique, individual profiles for each athlete. Thus, changes or variations are judged against each individual’s baseline, not group averages or one-off tests.
But beyond the technological innovation, is the genuine intent and vision to maximise player performance at Como 1907.
Como 1907 is a club leading by example not just in Italy, but across Europe for unique business models, commercial growth and strategic partnerships. An alliance with Connectome is yet more proof that the club thinks not just about the 90 minutes on the pitch, but the hours spent on long-term player recovery and development.
Both parties align perfectly in values and vision. Player wellbeing, team growth, and technological advancement are the foundations of this partnership.
Como 1907 is a club pushing the future into today’s football landscape, making Connectome a natural partner to bring that vision to life.
