Sports Psychology - Useful Tools to Build Self Confidence or Skills
Visualization in Sports
How to use visualization to improve your performance?Visualization is a mental rehearsal, in which athletes imagine the ideal performance.
Example 1:
Visualization plays a big part when i.e. training technical skills.
When athletes work on the specific skill, they should have their mind 100% on the skill and keep visualizing the skill while performing it. This helps players “to see” and imagine the correct completion of the skill.
When athletes “see and feel” the correct completion of the skill and have a clear motion picture in the mind about the skill, it helps them to notice mistakes - and also correct errors without coaches' help.
Example 2:
There are several different ways to make this happen. One way is to use video and moving picture in the process. Take a place in the relaxing and quiet environment. Sit or lay down and set up a moving picture in front of you. The athlete could make it even more powerful by listening self-affirmation phrases while watching the video.
