Read moreHow many plays go by before you picture in your mind the play called in the huddle, your next at bat, or the next shot you are going to take and perform it to perfection?
When this technique is perfected, your subconscious mind informs your body that you have already completed the upcoming play to perfection, which then allows your body to perform accordingly.
