GOALS (Goals, Imagery, Feelings, Thoughts, Support)
Goals are defined as your ambition, the thing you strive for with effort.
Goals - having a set of goals gives you a clear idea of what you want to achieve. Break goals into smaller and more achievable sub-goals and keep them realistic.
Imagery - visualize yourself in your mind’s eye performing at your peak. Incorporate all of your senses for better clarity in your visualizations.
Feelings - Developing mental skills goes beyond your brain. Incorporate your emotions. Visualize! Feel the adrenaline rushing through your body, the triumph, and put yourself into the in-the-zone feeling of peak performance.
Thoughts - Say positive affirmations to yourself and keep them in the present moment. Avoid negative self-talk that may cast doubts on your ability.
Support - support your mental training with physical actions that take you closer to your goals. Mental training supplements your physical exercise, but it is not a replacement.
