In Your Imagination

There is a lot of talk these days about movies of the mind.  Olympic athletes are some of the best at practicing this, for it is proven to work time and again.

Denis Waitley, super star in the motivational and inspirational speaking world once served on the Sports Medicine Council for the Olympics, and he has written about this important concept.

Denis says …

In your imagination you never miss.

When we pre-play and re-play our event in our minds eye we do it perfectly.  And as we perform in our mind, our synapses fire as if we were actually doing the task at hand. 

This works for all kinds of performances:

Skiers

Baseball players

Soccer goalies

Speech givers

Attorneys in court

Employees asking for a raise

Ping pong champions

Musicians

Everyone can benefit from this principle.

I worked with a minister in a church once and he could often be heard early on Sunday mornings rehearsing his sermon in a small room near the sanctuary. 

Mental rehearsal works. 

Simply put – it boils down to this:

Perfect Practice Makes Perfect
