Does Visualizing Success Enhance
Performance in Sports?
Much attention was given to mental
imagery in athletics (particularly tennis) in the 1960s and 1970s under the heading
of visualization as a way to improve personal performance. The idea was to
practice specific physical actions and to visualize them being successfully
completed without actually doing them.
1. Scholarly references should
include in addition to [Friedenberg, Jay., & Silverman, Gordon. (2006).
Cognitive science: An introduction to the study of mind. Thousand Oaks, CA:
Sage Publications.]
2. Write in Third Person Scholarly
writing: No quotes from Authors. Let your voice be heard and not reporting
lecture back to me. Academic critical writing only. In text, citation and
sources needed.
3. Please expand your discussion
and highlight other important theorists and theories where needed.
4. Introduction, and conclusion
SHOULD be comprehensive and to include more main ideas and thoughts.
Write a discussion on whether this
practice of visualizing successful completion of physical activities is
“pop psychology” and mysticism or whether the practice has
research-supported underpinnings.
Using current researches, make
recommendations for improving the technique, or argue that it is now obsolete.
