i read the ron jenkins QB manual in one of the offense sections and it talked about "brain typing" and how there are 3 different brain types that have great success in the NFL. they listed the QB's who have had these brain types and all have had great success at the NFL level. www.braintypes.com/questionsandanswers.htmhas anyone here looked at brain typing with their kids at all, from the sports psychology angle? possibly even bought the book about athletic success? i look forward to hearing if anyone has looked into this?

I've heard of him before and the work he does evaluating prospects, etc. Supposedly the guy who projected Leaf to be a bust based on watching his face while throwing the ball, if I'm correct.
I don't think that what he does is terribly different from Meyers-Briggs and other brain type/personality index tests do. From the completely non-expert standpoint, it seems that you'd have to be fairly specialized in training to be able to process and react to the data those tests would give you. I know that I could administer those tests, score the results, and get the general gist of what their supposed personality index is and how it will affect them, but realistically I'm not a psychology expert and I don't think I know nearly enough to base important decisions on it. Although, maybe that's what he does in the book, learn you up so you can do those things.
