What is Imagery?

Imagery means using the senses to create or re-create an experience in one’s mind. As atheletes - it is possible to experience all the sensory skills related to your sport during practice. Imagery is a product of your memory system. Visualization is picturing or seeing yourself but imagery is not only limited to vision. More then two hundreed studies have shown that imagery is effective in improving performance across a variety of sports. My goal is to help my athletes develop sensory awareness and a greater sense of mindfulness. . We will design practice activities to help you become more aware of your sensory experience as you perform. As well as develop an imagery training program to improve your performance - it’s not something extra athletes should do but an integral part of the sport experience. There are three parts to this program: The Education Phase, The Acquisition Phase and The Implementation Phase.
