Visualization 1. Visualization for simplifying the task. SEE THIS…NOT THIS Remove distractions from task. Reduce pressure by ignoring headscore just prior to playing shot. Simplify task to basic skill ie draw shot on forehand. What are the things I need to do remember to succeed? Line required? Weight required? Allow 1 or 2 thoughts into your head during delivery eg. slow and smooth; allow for wind ............................See this............................................Not this............................. |
2. Imagery in bowls This simple mental skill technique helps focus the mind and directs the muscles and the physical to perform. Prior to delivery imagine the shot you want to play and the result you want to achieve. Reherse this in your mind a number of times. Believe you can do it and that it will happen. This mental rehesal is well known amongst champions in mnay sports. In bowls visualise the pathway the bowl must take for the shot you want to play. Imagine the result at the head as your bowl completes the shot. Rather than thinking about the consequence of a successful shot at that time or a failure, refocus back onto imagining the "perfect" shot. Add some positive thoughts and self motivation for the unbeatable combination!! |
