Dr. Izzy Justice
Dr. Izzy Justice is a sports neuroscientist who has authored 8 books over the course of 30 years. He initially used the framework of EQ integrated into sports and athletic performance. He has trained and certified over 300 coaches in EQ in a wide array of sports disciplines worldwide. He has worked with athletes, coaches, and teams in NASCAR, Tennis, Soccer, Golf, Lacrosse, Basketball, Triathlon, NFL, MLB, Olympians, and many collegiate level programs.
Almost 10 years after getting his Doctorate in Management, Izzy pivoted towards Neuroscience with the advent of wireless EEG technology that allowed real-time access to brain while performing all kinds of athletic tasks especially in target sports. Izzy has observed 1000s of human performance activities resulting in creating a library of patent-pending Neurohacks that allow real-time quick ‘cognitive performance boosters’ by temporarily reducing distractions to allow high performance in critical moments.
Dr. Justice’s primary work is working in Corporate America with leaders of companies integrating EQ into the workplace. Dr. Justice has worked at Deloitte, Accenture, Cerner and Premier. He has completed over 40 triathlons including 8 Half Ironmans (PR: 5:22 Hours) and is a 5-Time Full Ironman Finisher (Arizona, Chattanooga, Roth, Mont-Tremblant, Santa Rosa, PR: 11:46 Hours).

GYRA GOLF
A Neuroscience-based approach to Golf's Mental Game
“The central premise of this book is that if a golfer can measure their emotional and mental state in golf, the two most constantly-changing variables when playing, and make the right adjustments to both, then performing to the best is achieved.”
