The Be Your Best scanning headset transports users into match simulations to train the critical skill of scanning. At 80% speed, users practice receiving the ball and choosing passes while head movements are logged. At 100% speed, replicating top-level intensity, the technology offers a reality check.

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard requested the 120% setting after his first use, fascinated by its potential. CEO Andreas Olsen of Be Your Best developed the tech after being inspired by players like Xavi Hernandez, the most prolific scanner identified in Professor Geir Jordet's research. Olsen noted that high scan rates in the 10 seconds before receiving the ball define the world's best players.

The technology helps players make decisions before they get the ball, eliminating surprises and focusing execution. Olsen stated, "Those 10 seconds are critical. It's all about making a decision before you get the ball.".
