Sports visualization is an incredible tool for athletes. The neural connections generated as you imagine yourself performing instill memory within your mind.
There are many ways you can go about utilizing visualization for athletic benefit. But, the four main areas I find most useful include visualization for handling pressure, relaxation, skill mastery, and injury recovery.
The first three steps will always be the same, working to get your mind and body in an optimal state to visualize. From there, the difference will be what you imagine and how it makes you feel.
Always remember to bring emotion into each scene!
