Visual mental preparation

Hi guys,

We are approaching the last game of the season. This is is gg to be 1 exciting game cos the 2 best teams in div 2 is gg to play each other. The odds are high for us and that makes me even more excited. This game is a perfect example of games that i love to play in. Playing in these games drives me on and improves myself as a player. How abt you? Are you fearful or excited? I only wish to see players who are excited and ready to take on this challenge positively!

Wed is our last trg before this game and I will want you guys to practice mental preparation before you come for trg. I will need you to visualise the game situation. For e.g, visualise your body positioning in defence when the ball is at the corner board. Change the situations and play it your mind. Go thru in your mind the decision that you will make in the situation. This mental preparation will help you 'move' faster in the game. a word of caution, do not mentally prepare so much till you 'choke' and be overly anxious.

Also visualise yourself making a last minute block to stop a certain goal from them or a last min shot that wins tht game for us. You should feel excited! Visualise down to exact details as much as possible.

Do not be afraid to lose. Do not be afraid to show your true ability.

A giant should never hide behind the shoulders of a dwarf.

Regards,
HowChong

Adding on to the imagery process, sumthin my hockey coach once said: "good players know how to execute a variety of shots. Great players know WHEN to execute which type of shot"
