Human Performance Training for Operational Readiness

Booz Allen’s Human Performance Training transforms the way individuals prepare for and carry out their mission. We combine traditional strength and conditioning, advanced sports and data science, and immersive simulations to optimize the physical and psychological readiness, wellbeing, and performance of trainees. With our approach, elite athletes, warfighters, and first responders can improve decision making and effectiveness for their mission at hand—and develop physical, social, and mental fortitude beyond the field.

Consider the ultimate athlete: Speed, agility, and physical ability may be the first qualities that come to mind. But a performance advantage in today’s high-risk environments requires more than dedicated practice. It demands a data-centric training solution—one that’s personalized, built for real-time feedback, and focused on holistic behavior change.

As threats and environments escalate and change, the human body must synchronize and coordinate to execute with efficiency and prowess. With advances in human performance technology, artificial intelligence, sensors, and wearables, we have an increasing ability to quantify and enhance training protocols and best practices. 

Booz Allen designs programs for tactical athletes that address five complementary, co-dependent domains:

• Cognitive builds on a trainee’s psychological state and wellbeing
• Physical powers mobility and biodynamics
• Health balances proper sleep and nutrition
• Tactical evaluates team coordination and situational awareness
• Technical focuses on the operational skillset for effective decision making

Understanding each domain’s dynamics allows us to prepare, train, and build patterns of performance to impact the whole person. Our team then applies this holistic framework to customize a Human Performance Training platform so organizations can increase operational readiness and reduce risk for trainees tasked with sensitive mission activities. We’re committed to delivering platforms that give users flexibility, for access at any time or place. We’re also committed to designing realistic simulations that are difficult to replicate in the real world.
