2. WHAT IS VISUALIZATION?
Visualization is a powerful technique that can be used by
anyone in a competitive setting.
Visualization, also known as visual imagery, is creating
mental pictures in your mind of an outcome that you want to
achieve. These images are created by using your five
senses to mentally rehearse the sport in your mind.
3. WHY IS VISUALIZATION
IMPORTANT?
Visualization is important because it helps to
prepare and to teach you how to respond to a
situation before it happens. It also helps you
achieve your goals by conditioning your brain to
see, hear, and feel the success in your mind.
4. THE POWER OF VISUALIZATION
When you visualize what you want to
achieve, you are consciously deciding to
look for information about a situation that will
improve your performance outcomes.
Visualization is training for your mind. Good
players will train their skills; great players will
also train their minds.
6. HOW TO VISUALIZE?
The Greek philosopher Aristotle explained the method of visualization in a few simple steps,
and even though this advice is over 2,000 years old, it still holds true today.
“First, have a definite, clear, practical ideal; a goal, an objective. Second, have
the necessary means to achieve your ends: wisdom, money, materials, and
methods. Third, adjust all your means to that end.”
7. HOW TO VISUALIZE?
● Close your eyes and imagine the desired outcome. With all
related senses and all emotions.
● Write your desired outcome as if it's true in the present day
on an index card. Read it in the morning and at night.
● Create a vision board and have it in your line of sight. See it
as you go to bed.
