Visualizing success can help you achieve better results.

Anette Wachter aka “30CalGal” stars in a clever video from NRAWomen.com. Anette Wachter discusses the “mental game” of competition in this episode. She explains “visualizing success” in particular: I’ve found that much of my success has come from what I call a “mental rehearsal”. I visualize each stage of the game and the success of the game and winning the match. I visualize the round going downrange and hitting the target. The target will then show a ‘X’ in the center. I keep visualizing this. You will achieve success if you visualize it. Visualization is mental preparation done before you go to the range. This technique has been used by many of the world’s greatest shooting champions to prepare for big matches and optimize their performance when firing records. We recommend Lanny bassham’s book With Winning In Mind if you want to improve your “mental game” by visualizing the match before it begins. Bassham developed his mental management system as a smallbore 3P competitor. Lanny Bassham used this system to win 22 world individual and teams titles, set four records, and capture an Olympic Gold Medal at Montreal in 1976. His techniques are used by Olympic and professional athletes in many sports. With Winning In Mind is a comprehensive system of “mental-management” techniques used by Olympians, elite champions and other athletes. About 30CalGal. Life is short.
