Dr. Terry Lidarssi
The brain behind AnceFlex® Guardian360 helmets
Dr. Terry Lidarssi, sports neuroscience expert and founder of AnceFlex®
Dr. Terry Lidarssi is the brains behind AnceFlex® solutions, including the Guardian360 helmet, an innovation dedicated to goalkeepers.
His approach is based on a strong conviction:
protecting the head also means preserving the essential brain functions for performance.
Expertise in neuroscience and sport
Trained in movement sciences and neuroscience, Dr. Terry Lidarssi specializes in:
- reaction speed
- rapid decision-making
- visuomotor coordination
- recovery and rehabilitation
His work is based on a dual approach:
✔️ scientific
✔️ practical, in contact with goalkeepers, athletes, and healthcare professionals
Why a specific helmet for goalkeepers?
The goalkeeper position is one of the most neurologically demanding:
- millisecond decision-making
- repeated impacts (dives, contacts, collisions)
- intense visual and cognitive demands
These constraints can affect both safety and cognitive performance.
It is in this context that Guardian360 was born.
Guardian360: protecting without compromising performance
The Guardian360 helmet was designed with a clear logic:
👉 reduce impacts while respecting the goalkeeper's perceptual abilities
Unlike conventional protection, it is designed to:
- preserve peripheral vision
- not alter reflexes
- support natural movements
- secure without hindering performance
A brain-centric approach
A goalkeeper's performance depends directly on key brain functions:
- anticipation
- visual attention
- information processing speed
- coordination
Dr. Terry Lidarssi develops solutions that take these elements into account,
in order to protect without degrading these essential capabilities.
Innovation from the field
The development of Guardian360 is part of a concrete approach:
- tests with football goalkeepers
- discussions with coaches
- collaboration with healthcare professionals
Objective: to create a solution truly adapted to the demands of the position.
A modern vision of training and safety
Dr. Terry Lidarssi advocates a global vision:
- training the brain like a muscle
- improving performance while reducing risks
- making innovations accessible to young goalkeepers
