Concentrate:
“Concentration’s like a shower. You don’t turn it on until you bathe … You don’t walk out of the shower and leave it running. You turn it off, you turn it on … It has to be fresh and ready when you need it”
(Garry Sobers, 2002) Back of cup in golf Hookers and lolipop Concentrate on the feeling of the action Johnny Wilkinson Concentrate when you have to Use triggers Concentrate on process Not required to concentrate 24-7 Childs concentration on a new toy
Relaxation
The ability to relax the week of a game The coaches ability to relax Relax the day of the performance “Relax and play ball” Breathing is critical…deep abdominal breathing Backroom team and coaches..have finger on pulse Music Keep everyone relaxed Jacobsen’s progressive muscular relaxation If you are talking to the athlete too much, it means
something is wrong “the computer is programmed”
Positive Imagery:
While relaxed and in quiet place.(Jacobsen’s technique)
Real time Auditory, visual, sensory
kinaesthetic, Positive images and actions Flick back flick up VIVID With emotion Match simulator Why it works Hold a ball/ stick in your
hand Internal perspective
“it is not an athletes talent that will lead to success, it is what they do with their talent. The athletes attitude will determine this”
Attitude is everything in sport!
