We’re proud to announce one of our most exciting partnerships to date, with the reveal of our new official supplier, BlazePod.
BlazePod is a smart reaction training platform that improves your reaction time and agility in sports performance, fitness, and therapy in an engaging and exciting way. Light up pods and a linked interactive app encourage physical and cognitive growth and are ideal for training athletes across a range of sports and disciplines.
Earlier this year, we reached out to the team at BlazePod to see if they could help us out with some of their incredible kit to help with our driver training.
They were quick to say yes, and before long we had our own set of BlazePods in our Sussex HQ. Since then, our drivers have been using the system whenever they’re with us at HQ, and we’ve been taking the kit to our sponsor events, where our staff teams have been enjoying the chance to test their reaction times and secure the best possible score.
Now, the team have provided BlazePod sets to every Team BRIT driver, plus our aspiring rookies and our driver coach, setting our entire team up with the very best in sports reaction training.
BlazePod’s training technology synchronizes mental and physical training, sharpening athletes’ minds to recognize patterns, process information swiftly, and make quick choices.
With 200+ drills and endless customization options, BlazePod offers an intelligent app, sleek agility light Pods, and real-time results to track and exceed your goals.
Head of Education and Professional Development at BlazePod, Simon Jacobs, and BlazePod fitness expert Michael Cummings came along to meet the wider team at our recent Silverstone event, where he could also see our BlazePods in action as part of our sponsor hospitality suite.
Simon said: “Being able to assist and be part of the unique and wonderful work Team BRIT are doing, is an honour and pleasure for us at BlazePod. We got to listen to some of the drivers and hear their stories which were extremely inspirational, and understating the lengths Team BRIT go to, to provide equal opportunity for all their drivers, is super important to us and the way we think as a company. So providing the team with kits and education to help the drivers with their neural priming, reactive intelligence training and essentially to be able to respond faster and smarter than imagined, was a no-brainer.”
Team Principal Mike Scudamore said: “This is a really exciting partnership, and one that has brought us so much already. Our drivers will now have use of a really effective training system to use at home. The fact that it is completely adaptable for individual needs, means it works for every one of our drivers, regardless of their disability.
“It’s also been fantastic for us to take along to our many sponsor activation events, and has really sparked interest and enthusiasm from everyone we’ve met. People have been keen to try the reaction speed test and see how quick they can get to a pro-driver’s super quick reaction times.
“A massive thank you to Simon and everyone at BlazePods for becoming part of our team.”
