"What is sports imagery and how does it help perfect performance? Taylor describes it as athletes viewing their performance from the inside out—as though they are watching themselves on video. Dr. Taylor recommends that his athletes practice mental imagery regularly, three to four times a week, for about ten minutes each session. He suggests taking four or five key elements of their performance and then imagining them step by step. In the case of our batter, it might begin with stepping from the on-deck circle to the plate, then gripping the bat and visualizing the swing, and, finally, facing the pitcher, ready for the ball."
