VISUALIZATION: A SECRET WEAPON
Elite athletes use it. Olympians swear by it. Visualization is the act of mentally rehearsing success before it happens.
Why it works:
It activates the same brain areas as physical performance
It boosts confidence and calm
It prepares you for pressure moments
How to use it:
Find a quiet space and close your eyes.
Picture a game or moment you’re preparing for.
See it in full detail: sights, sounds, feel.
Visualize yourself executing with control and success.
Replay it regularly—before practice, before games.
You don’t need a field to train your mind. You just need intention and practice.
