Our User Hub is a dedicated informational guide for Be Your Best subscribers. It contains everything you may need to know to maximise your VR training experience.
After purchasing your Be Your Best subscription, follow these two simple steps to start your VR training experience.
Step 1
Download the Be Your Best VR app to your Meta Quest Headset.
You can do this either directly within your Meta Quest Headset, by clicking the ‘Store’ button in the menu, searching for ‘Be Your Best’, and clicking ‘Get’ to download to your app library.
Or, by visiting the Meta Store. You will need to sign into your Meta Account to start the download. Once downloaded, the next time you put on your headset, the Be Your Best app will appear in your app library.
Step 2
Once you have downloaded the Be Your Best app to your Meta Quest Headset, whilst wearing your headset, open the app and sign into your Be Your Best account using your email address and password. Use the same login details as you registered with when you first signed up at beyourbest.com.
And that’s it. You’re ready to start your VR training.
All new subscribers should kick-off their VR training by completing Bootcamp.
Learn the essentials like Scan Rate, Scan Timing, Awareness, Passing Basics and Decision Making. Plus, unlock new features and metrics.
In your first couple of days of VR training, we recommend you gradually increase your training time and take breaks regularly. To start with, think little and often. This applies to players of all ages, although younger players may need more frequent and longer breaks.
To begin with, complete a 10-15 minute session, including 5 minutes of actual gameplay. Then over the following days and weeks, build your VR comfort by gradually increasing your session (and gameplay) durations to find your own personal preference.
Meta recommends a maximum daily VR headset usage of around 2 hours, with frequent breaks in between. We therefore suggest splitting your VR training time into multiple sessions across the day.
By following this advice, before you know it, you’ll be able to adapt more seamlessly between reality and the virtual world, ensuring maximum enjoyment of your VR training experience.
If you ever want any further advice or recommendations on suitable VR training periods, be sure to contact our team who will be happy to assist you.

Your Be Your Best subscription comes with access to 3 user profiles.
You have your initial profile which you create when you sign up. After this, you’re able to set up another 2 profiles, which friends, family, teammates or anyone else can use.
The stats and game progress of these three profiles remain separate and protected by a PIN code, ensuring only the designated user can access them, helping maintain the privacy and security of each individual user.
To set up extra profiles, login to your Be Your Best account online. Go to Team Management > Create a Team Name > Enter the email addresses of the people you would like to invite.
Whoever you invite can now create a Be Your Best account. When they sign in for the first time, your invitation will be waiting for them. After accepting, they’re able to begin training.
Personalise your Be Your Best training experience with our Kit Customisation tool, upload a Profile Picture, and select either male or female players.
The Be Your Best mobile app is the perfect companion to your VR training. Keep track of your progress and performance with your personal stats and analytics on the go.

Be Your Best has multiple training modes, all designed to improve your vision, awareness and decision-making skills.
Practice
Play through 800+ 11-a-side scenarios recreated from real-life pro-games from the perspective of one player.
Scan frequently, and at the right moments, pass the awareness tests, and make the right decision once you receive the ball.
Choose or randomise your playing position, set your game speed and decide how many scenarios you want to practice.
Challenges
Challenges allow you to work on specific aspects of your game, whether that’s positionally or tactically.
Complete our various different challenges to earn medals and compete with other players on Challenge leaderboards.
New Challenges are released weekly. Helping keep your training fresh.
Career
Start off in Bronze League and work your way up to Champions League with Career mode.
To advance through the leagues, you will need to consistently hit your session targets, with the difficulty increasing the higher you progress.
Fail to meet targets and your rating will drop, leading to a risk of relegation. Do you have what it takes to reach the top of Career mode?
MatchPlay
MatchPlay replicates the experience of a real-life game, giving you complete control over your actions and decisions.
You’ll still be working on improving your scanning ability, but with more going on around you, and with more to be made, your cognitive skills will be challenged to the max.
Be Your Best has multiple features to enhance and maximise your training experience and cognitive development.
Awareness Test
Our in-game Awareness Test is the moment you are tasked with remembering the colour shirts of nearby teammates and opponents in a test of your vision and memory skills. All whilst under the pressure of a time limit.
The best players in the world not only scan constantly, but they are also elite at retaining information and then processing and using that information to quickly inform their next decision.
This is why our Awareness Test is such an important and popular feature within our VR training.
Stats & Analysis Hub
Every time you train with Be Your Best your performance is recorded and analysed. Helping you track progress and identify areas for improvement.
After each session, you will be taken to our Stats & Analysis Hub where you will be presented with the following metrics:

From the comfort of your own home and on a schedule that suits you, Be Your Best can be used practically anytime and anywhere. (Although, Meta recommends avoiding using your headset outdoors, as exposure to the sun can damage your lenses and display.)
With no physical load, you can train with Be Your Best before and after training and games, or even whilst injured.
In a recent scientific study, alongside a major European footballing national association, players were found to achieve a 28% increase in their scan frequency on average, after just 9-weeks of consistent VR training.
With research showing that players who scan more, retain possession more and are twice more likely to make a successful forward pass, you’ll soon start seeing improvements on the field after regular training with Be Your Best.
