BE A CHAMPION IN YOUR MIND

Become an expert by watching experts compete and visualizing yourself performing the skills as they do.  Observe a champion and imagine yourself as one.

OBSERVE

Watch the sports you play. It helps your game to observe how champions perform. Examine one aspect of play at a time to hone in on specific skills.

I went to the Sony Open and watched Serena Williams compete against Na Li. I am no Serena Williams nor Na Li, but I watched how they won their points. I watched their shuffling feet and fluid swings and imagined myself trying to return each shot with the same grace. Specifically, I examined Serena’s backhand and I practiced the swings in my mind.

IMAGINE

See yourself as a champion.  Become a Champion. 

Visualize yourself as a champion when you are competing.  You don’t have to pretend that you are someone else, but you can imagine that you are a stronger competitor.  Become a champion to compete like one.

On the tennis courts, I imagine that I had the muscles and power of Serena Williams. I can imagine being strong like her, and I visualize her smooth strokes as I execute mine. And I hit my shots more consistently.

Visualization is an important tool in sport psychology.  There are many ways to use visualization to improve performance – on and off the field.
