Imagery: the first two minutes
03:00
- 1Close your eyes or look at the floor. Two long exhales.
- 2Picture the sports hall: the sound, the light, the feel of the floor. First the place, then the action.
- 3Play through the first two minutes from your perspective – not like an outside view from a video.
- 4Take a situation that goes wrong and mentally rehearse your reaction to it.
- 5End with a successful, completely normal action: a clean pass, a good defensive position.
When to use
The evening before, or on the way to the sports hall.
What's in it for you
Creating familiarity: The game doesn't feel like a premiere at throw-off anymore.
