Using Visualisation in Sports Performance
Using Visualisation exercises are what top athletes and people who want peak performance in sport use. They help to create a clear mental picture in athletes minds, now as an athlete what you want to do is see yourself doing it right all in your head before you step on the field in a big game.
Now to accomplish any mental goal you need to see yourself and have a clear vision in your mind first. The more clearly you have that vision the absolute best you’re going to do. Wherever you place your attention, your energy will flow in that direction and follow.
But WAIT you maybe wondering: So what is Visualisation?
It’s a simple yet powerfully underestimated technique that top sports athletes are using today by using the power of their mind and their imagination together to create a life they want. Now you probably have already used it, daydreaming in your life already but you haven’t been made aware of it, it’s your absolute natural power of imagination.
Imagine being in a situation where you feel anxiety or worry…well when you worry about something, your thinking about that time, when you were performing at your worst and you felt terrible or you may be worried about all the WHAT IF’S, and future pacing (looking into the future in your head) a terrible outcome in the future for yourself. People who have faced negative issues in the past always use the power of there mind against them, they think back to those bad memories of maybe getting injuries and how it felt, or stumbling at the wrong time of an important match or game. ALL this stuff is running through your mind, you see it as if it were this wide screen movie like picture in your head, playing the worst case scenario’s happening to you and as you’re imagining the worst possible situation now, I WANT YOU to NOTICE what’s happening and occurring in your body…. You may find your blood pressure sky rocketing, your upper body including shoulders tighten and become stiff as you feel tremendous amounts of tension. You feel your voice stifles as you lose a lot of saliva in your mouth, and as you look down you notice your palms of your hands become moist and wet.
Isn’t it strange how we are so amazing at visualising and imagining all the worst stuff that could happen to us in our life, yet the best stuff we chose not to, this is where the power of choice comes into hand, its always the bad stuff that’s easier to remember that the good, lets change that today.
So as you can see visualisation is a powerful technique and can be detrimental to your performance, but if you use visualizing techniques correctly to visualize yourself doing it perfect and succeeding, it can enhance your game powerfully.
