« FC Lugano has the target to create a top level football academy, aiming to develop professional players who can compete in the best Swiss and European football scenarios. The modern view of playing football, which is based on ball possession and on modern playing principles has to shape an intelligent player. For this reason FC Lugano Academy has been practicing the CogiTraining & SenseBall method since Mid-2017 getting excellent results by its players from the technical, cognitive and also academic (school performance) point of view. »

AC Milan have renewed their exclusive contract for Italy with CogiTraining-SenseBall for a third season. The spectacular progress enjoyed by their youth teams since working with the programme made this an easy choice. AC Milan Primavera, the club’s under-19 team, beat Real Madrid in the final of the 2015 Hamdan Bin Mohammed International Tournament in Dubai. During the press conference following the tournament, Cristian Brocchi, AC Milan Primavera coach said: "The success and the game quality of our team are in good part the result of the method CogiTraining-SenseBall that Michel Bruyninckx has taught me and that I apply with my group."

« In Anderlecht we use SenseBall in the “Golden age” categories. These players use SenseBall during week practice and receive exercises to do at home. They are also obliged to bring it to the matches in the weekend. When they are not playing they do exercises near the pitch to improve their capacities instead of sitting on the bench and watching the game. During the training sessions they always do 10 exercises with 100 repetitions (50 times with each foot). After some sessions we implement music and after six weeks we innovate implementing new exercises. The most important reason why RSC Anderlecht use SenseBall is that we want to create perfect two-footed players. Players love SenseBall and you can see the results every week on the pitch. »

« I particularly use SenseBall with 13-14-year-old players who have experienced a rapid and disruptive growth. They are really in difficulty in terms of coordination and SenseBall allows them to rectify things. We also work on stance, the top of the body, the use of the weaker foot... Among the 7-12-year-old, it helps with coordination and motor skills. With the older players, it is used for synchronization, the collection of information. For me it must be part of the educational material of the educator. »

In football practice, you can see advances in technology and the emergence of new equipment. We talk about SenseBall, which is present in the daily training of our teams in all categories. SenseBall can be used both for basic exercises and for performance exercises. An important equipment that improves coordination, rhythm, speed, etc., training both the physical and the mental part; and without any age limit. With SenseBall, you can have a serious workout in a fun way, and develop a superior quality game.

Playing football, smartly. This is the challenge taken up by CogiTraining-SenseBall, a football training method that has proved its worth in the world of football, from Belgium to AC Milan. Focus on a formula that has revealed many talents.

Axel Witsel's signature in China allows SenseBall to tackle this market which absolutely wants to become professional: the Tianjin Quanjian midfielder is now the SenseBall ambassador in China, where its products will soon be available as they are in Belgium. The player himself is a convinced user: "Even for a professional like me, the SenseBall can improve my touch of ball. I would have loved to discover it younger! This should be mandatory in training schools". The development of SenseBall in Asia was entrusted to Asia-Euro Consultancy, established in Hong Kong and led by Patrice Thys, former President and CEO of AB InBev in Asia.

Yesterday the Expo 'Goal! The Football Experience' has organised a unique football training session in Nekkerhal Mechelen. Red Flame Imke Courtois and the internationally renowned football coach Michel Bruyninckx gave an initiation to SenseBall, exclusively for girls. More and more professional football clubs such as AC Milan, FC Metz, Lille, Anderlecht, KRC Genk and Juventus, train with SenseBall. Dries Mertens, but also former Golden Boot-winner Sven Kums, are fine examples of Belgian players who trained at a young age with SenseBall and currently still reap the rewards.

Those who watched the opening ceremony of the FIFA World Cup will have observed this strange choreography: children playing with a soccer ball on a string (rope). A bit like a jokari. These football dance steps were wonderfully - and quickly - synchronized to the rhythm of a symphony orchestra. Behind this achievement lies a Belgian: Michel Bruyninckx, international coach. This funny soccer ball is called senseball and is one of the tools used by Bruyninckx to develop a young footballer's skills with a key principle: everything starts from the brain! And his method pays out. Applied for about seven years in Anderlecht football club, the method allowed the youth team to beat their English or Spanish comrades; future champions of the best clubs in the world.

Geoff Noonan, coordinator at Fulham Academy for 7 to 11 year-old players, has decided to order 150 SenseBall for his players after meeting Bruyninckx at a conference in May. « SenseBall helps open the hips, it’s good for crosses, volleys, and to improve the player’s weaker foot. It also enables children to train at home and helps them to balance the right and left-hand sides of the body. The idea of training at home is really useful - we’ve lost this culture in which children spontaneously play matches among themselves and SenseBall provides a means of replacing that. »
