Miami, Florida(Hexa PR Wire–January 30, 2026)–Dr. Tere Linzey joins The Michael Peres Podcast to discuss how students can strengthen attention, auditory processing, executive functioning, and memory through structured practice. Linzey, a licensed educational psychologist and founder of BrainMatterZ, describes how her early experience playing and coaching college basketball influenced her approach to “brain coaching,” including the idea that core cognitive skills can be trained through repetition and feedback in ways that resemble athletic development. Dr. Linzey explains how BrainMatterZ uses repeatable exercises designed to be engaging for kids and teens, with the goal of improving processing speed, focus, and working memory without relying on monotonous drills. She discusses common misconceptions parents have about motivation and “laziness,” and how executive functioning supports planning, follow-through, and school performance. The conversation also touches on how AI and emerging technology may intersect with learning support and cognitive training, and what she believes should remain centered on human development.
