  2. Performance Improvement • Sport psychologists often use the following practices to enhance performance: • Goal Setting • Mental imagery • Mental practice • Visualisation • Self Talk • Routines

  3. What is it? • This is done by picturing a performance in one’s mind • It involves no physical practice. • It consists of seeing the action in your mind, though it is sometimes regarded as also including viewing films, reading or listening to instructions.

  4. Application (How is it used?) • Mental rehearsal should take place in the performance environment • The action should be performed in it’s entirety where necessary • The performance should be successful • The performance should be practised immediately before a competition • The actions imagined should take place at the same rate as the performance • The athlete should imagine the feel of the action
