Like all athletes, Gilbert’s success often comes down to thinking, reacting and acting as little as a split second faster than an opponent. Unfortunately, many athletes train only their bodies and forget to train their minds as well. As such, Gilbert is now putting his considerable muscle behind MyBrainTrainer.com to convince athletes that brain-boosting is every bit as crucial to victory as practicing on the field and working out in the gym.

Commenting on his support of MyBrainTrainer.com, Gilbert said, "As a world class fighter, the possibility of training my brain to help me react faster absolutely fascinated me and drew me in immediately. In my game, split seconds can determine the difference between slipping a punch and counter punching back or getting hit and lying on your back. I’d rather not be in the latter situation. In fact, my only reluctance in endorsing MyBrainTrainer is that it I'd prefer to hide it from my competition!"

According to University of Oregon psychology professor Steven Keele, who has conducted lab tests on reaction times entailing both visual and auditory stimuli, "If an athlete is reacting only to what he sees or hears, he’s going to be too slow. Nobody would deny the importance of quickness in sports, but the quickest person in the world will be demolished every time if his cognitive skills aren’t good. It’s as simple as that."

A visually attractive and user-friendly site, MyBrainTrainer.com™ offers several short (one to three minutes each) interactive exercises requiring the user to respond rapidly to a series of random stimuli. Each exercise isolates a specific region of the brain, just as exercises on Nautilus equipment isolate specific muscle groups. The result is a much more focused, intensive, and beneficial mental workout than can be obtained with old standbys such as solving crossword puzzles or playing Scrabble. Use of such exercises, known as Elementary Cognitive Tasks within the scientific community, can benefit users of all ages. The effect can be seen in the classroom, in the executive suite, on the ball field, or even behind the wheel of a car.

MyBrainTrainer.com™ has numerous features that set it apart from anything ever before seen in the brain exercise and training field, whether online or offline. Immediate feedback across variables such as reaction time (measured in thousandths of a second), accuracy, concentration, perceptual threshold and memory capacity, provides the means to monitor performance and improvement. High score pages enable a member to compare results on a daily, monthly and all-time basis with all other members, and with members of the same age and occupation. And,

most impressively, the site’s BrainDiary tracks the effect on cognitive performance of any variables the member selects, such as time of day, caffeine consumption, prior night’s sleep, or even the weather outside.
