1. Find a quiet space and close your eyes.
2. Pick an image that represents your goal. For example, if you want to make the basketball team, you could visualize yourself shooting a free throw.
3. Focus on the image, concentrating on details. For the basketball example, you might imagine the smell of the gym, the feeling of the ball in your hands, and the sound of the crowd in the stands.
4. Try to repeat this visualization for at least a few minutes on a daily basis. And don’t forget to practice your free throws!
