Concentration and peak performance are also areas where neurofeedback is excellent, especially for athletes and professionals who need increased focus.

among individuals who want to achieve peak performance in areas that require a high degree of focus, mental flexibility and above-average stress tolerance. This training helps people develop a higher level of control over their brainwave patterns, as well as their behavior, allowing them to achieve the optimal state of mind for performance, called flow. It is a state where focus, calm and creativity meet.

Two large general groups of skills that can be developed during neurofeedback are attention and concentration skills and relaxation/stress tolerance skills. The joint development of these two groups of abilities can mutually strengthen each other. By definition, if a person is able to remain calm even in a stressful situation, he can focus his attention more effectively, in addition to being able to express his creativity more easily. This kind of conscious control of abilities can be a distinct advantage for a leader, engineer, artist or athlete. These trainings are called peak performance trainings.

For example, athletes use neurofeedback to increase reaction time, improve concentration under pressure, and maintain a calm but alert state. Some Olympic athletes and professional sports teams have incorporated neurofeedback into their training programs to gain a mental edge. Some sports results to which neurofeedback training contributed:

• AC Milan won the 2007 FIFA World Cup;
• The 2008 Beijing Olympic gold medal of the Indian shooter Abhinav Bindra;
• Canada's Alexandre Bilodeau won the gold medal at the 2010 Winter Olympics.

In the corporate world, managers use neurofeedback to sharpen their decision-making skills and maintain productivity without burnout. This training leads to clearer thinking and fewer reactive decisions, which can be crucial in a leadership role.

Creative professionals such as musicians and writers have also found neurofeedback valuable in reaching their creative peak or overcoming their creative crisis.
