The recent research has consistently shown that the regular objective practice for any sport combined with powerful visualization creates the ideal winning combination. Sports psychology is something that can prove to be very useful when it comes to do the same.
As long as you have mastered the basic skills and fundamentals of your game, you can use the following four strategies taught in our seminars to improve your sports performance.
1. With your eyes closed and very relaxed, review some of your greatest and remembering performances and vividly relive times when you were in your great form. If possible mentally remember howyou stood, how you breathed, how you walked and how you talked. Recall what you were actually saying to yourself mentally and try to complete associate yourself with these scenes as if they were happening all over again. It is really good to feel the excitement and joy of your victory. Imagine and realize if you did it once you can do it repeatedly. And, of course, as you relive these scenes, and you will surely experience a point of "peak excitement." I would say that this is your signal ...
... that you are totally associated with your images. In short, by this time, small but measurable, required changes are occurring in your muscles, body, mind and nervous system as well. Most importantly, these peak images are recreating the same inner success patterns that actually caused you to succeed brilliantly before. Now you are recommended toto "lock them in" so these patterns will be at your disposal anytime, anywhere.
2. Before starting a competition, close your eyes and for certain minutes vividly imagine the competition in detail. Imagine yourself playing excellently. Visualize yourself and your team in complete control totally focused and concentrated. Hear the crowds cheering your name and feel the rush of joy and excitement and success racing through your body. Now, vividly imagine every move you will surely make and visualize yourself victorious. Yes, it will be good to mentally review any weak spots and picture yourself flawlessly overcoming them.
3. Now after a competition, mentally review your game performance. If you made any errors or mistakes, imagine yourself making the necessary correction and doing them in a proper way. This action will surely help you ignore that error in the future. Remember the point is that your mind is a wonderful feedback device; it actually learns from its mistakes. This mental correction technique is really great when it comes to help to speed its learning process. Trust me; doing this you will soon find yourself avoiding that mistake permanently.
4. All in all, remember the sports and competitions are supposed to be fun and excitement. This is something that allows us to interact and connect with like-minded people. Most importantly, they also allow us to develop our skills and refine them. Instead of concentrating on always being a winner, focus on your skills progressively enhancing.
