3rd Video - Mental Imagery for Performance Enhancement: The Athlete’s Guide with Delores Brick Dunagan, Ph.D. Guided imagery is the process of creating a scene in the athlete’s mind of what they want to happen by creating mental images, like pictures or movies, that recreate their best performances, or, they will envision a desired outcome. In this video, Dunagan takes the athlete through a three phase experience that includes: 1) Deep Breathing, 2) Deep Relaxation, and 3) Guided Imagery.
