It’s Only About Task Improvement: Some believe BET is solely focused on improving performance on specific cognitive tasks, but its primary goal is to induce mental fatigue to stimulate broad adaptations.

It’s Unproven or New: BET is sometimes thought to be a novel or untested method, but it is supported by extensive scientific research and has been applied in various settings.

Requires Sport-Specific Tasks: There’s a misconception that BET must use tasks specific to one’s sport or activity, but the key is inducing mental fatigue, which can be achieved with a variety of tasks.

Simple Reaction Training Suffices: Some assume that basic reaction drills or using tools like light pods are equivalent to BET, but without proper monitoring and progressive overload, these do not provide the necessary cognitive load.

Mental Fatigue Isn’t Important: The impact of mental fatigue on performance is sometimes underestimated, despite evidence showing its significant effects on cognitive and physical abilities.
