In this episode, Brian and Josh discuss how tennis players can utilize visualization as part of their overall training. Previously, in episode 18, the co-hosts reviewed on-court methods of using visualization, so in this episode the focus was on how visualization can be trained and utilized off-court by tennis players of all levels. Various strategies were discussed to build visualization skills including visualization with a tennis ball, writing out visualization scripts of match situations you may encounter, and visualizing a personal highlight reel.
