By imagining doing something, you use exactly the same neural pathways as if you are actually doing it. Amazing right? This is backed up by countless studies! Do you ever feel like things go really well when you train but things don’t go as well when you compete? The best in the world use visualization to perfect their skills and prepare for competition. Now it's your turn to do the same! “When I would visualize, I would visualize every single thing. I mean leading up to a meet, I would visualize probably a month or so in advance. I would visualize: what could happen, want I want to happen and what I don’t want to happen because when it happened I was prepared for it.” Michael Phelps ~ most decorated Olympian of all time
