Finding the Right Mental State for Optimal Performance

Prof Adam Nicholls reveals how imagery — the simple act of visualising success — can unlock real, measurable performance gains. Your brain doesn’t always know the difference between imagining and doing — meaning when used correctly, mental imagery can trigger physical responses, sharpen focus, and help athletes execute under pressure.

Adam and Andrew share behind-the-scenes stories of athletes who’ve made imagery a core part of their training — and how this mental tool has been the difference between good performances… and major wins.
