Visualization Improves Performance in Any Sport

My long jump personal best improved by almost three feet, one metre. The improvement was significant enough for me to recognize just how effective visualization could be - even in a short time. Long before i became aware of the neuro science research, visualization does more than improve an athlete's focus in motivation. It also affects their brain networks and significantly alters the strength and movement range of their muscles. In multiple studies, scientists have compared the strength of people lifting weights with people imagining lifting weights.
