Episode #33: Mental Imagery-Part I of my Train Your Mind for Athletic Success podcast is the first of two episodes that shows you the power of mental imagery on athletic performance.
To be sure you understand precisely what imagery is, let me describe it to you. Many athletes, coaches, sport psychologists and mental trainers call imagery visualization. Though I will use the term imagery, you can use them interchangeably. At the same time, though the seeing part is important, I want to emphasize the importance of another key contributor to the power imagery, namely, feeling. Effective imagery isn’t just something that occurs in your mind, but rather it is a psychological and physiological phenomenon in which you reproduce the actual athletic experience in your mind and body. Moreover, it impacts you in every way in your sport: psychologically, emotionally, physically, technically, and tactically. You can think of imagery as weight lifting for the mind because it strengthens every mental muscle.
