Relaxation and Imagery Rehearsal:
I have been teaching people how to relax since 1975. It was the first mental training skill I learned and started passing on to others. My first students were in their 70′s and wanted to learn to swim but were afraid of the water. I taught them how to relax and then overcome their fears. It was my first experience that mental training of some kind could affect performance.
When I was teaching this skill I had combined it with a sort of random visualization. My intent was to make them comfortable in the water. I was just learning what a powerful tool visualization and guided imagery would have on the athletes I would work with in the future.
Both Relaxation and Imagery are powerful tools to help athletes gain awareness of mind and body. The skill sets are not secrets, yet they are not as commonly taught as I would have liked to see developed over the past 35 years. If you look there are lots of references to imagery use from Jack Nicklaus & Tiger Woods in golf to Olympic Champions and Super Bowl MVPs. I’ll post more information on my blog soon. I can tell you one thing for sure. Use these skills and your performance will improve.
