Unleash Your Inner Strength
Think hitting a big lift is only about how strong you are? Think again.
Ask any successful athlete if they practice visualisation, and I guarantee it plays a role in their success.
Because a crucial key to building confidence and improving performance is found between the ears.
Visualisation is not just a mental exercise; it's a potent tool that can substantially enhance your athletic performance.
Ready to try it out?
Begin by setting a clear intention: “I want to improve my snatch, but I’m having trouble with the last phase of the pull.” Great. Let's create an effective visualisation routine that demonstrates you snatching without any early arm bend.
Start by closing your eyes and watching the lift in segments. Observe yourself confidently approach the bar, position your feet, secure your grip and seamlessly progress through each phase of the lift. Now ask yourself, how are you breathing? What does your form look like? Visualise completing the lift with patience, and grace. Notice the last phase of the pull; the bar remains close, your hips are fully extended, you've gotten tall with a big shoulder shrug, and your arms are nice and straight until you pull yourself under the bar. Voila! Watch your success, and believe in it! Last but perhaps most importantly, imagine the incredible satisfaction of hitting that beautiful rep.
Ready to take the process a step further? Create a mantra, such as "patience in the pull." Repeat those words in the mirror, during your warm-up, wherever, and whenever. The more you practice visualising the lift with your thoughts and words, the more in tune your body and mind will become with the process and the execution.
Finally, when it's time to complete the snatch, begin by taking a few deep breaths. Shake out any nervous tension and walk up to the bar with ownership. Trust in your capabilities and let the movements happen naturally. This is where you stop thinking and start doing.
Visualisation can positively impact athletic performance, and incorporating a visual routine into your preparation can help you perform at your best. Give it a try and see the difference! Want help with visualising as well as lifting technique? Then drop me a message at sj@innerfight.com!
