I call imagery the Swiss Army knife of mental training because it can strengthen so many aspects of your athletic performance.<\/p>\n<p>Then why doesn\u2019t EVERY athlete use mental imagery?<\/p>\n<p>The biggest challenges\/excuses I hear from athletes are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They don\u2019t know how to do imagery;<\/li>\n<li>They don\u2019t know how to create a mental imagery program;<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s not part of their daily routine like their conditioning and sport training;<\/li>\n<li>The results aren\u2019t tangible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I\u2019m excited to tell you about a new app called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.odibodi.com\">Odibodi<\/a> that makes it easier than ever for athletes to develop a comprehensive, structured, and consistent mental imagery program. (Note: I have no financial stake in Odibodi. I support and use it because I see it as a valuable mental training tool for athletes and coaches.)<\/p>\n<p>On Odibodi, athletes can listen to mental imagery exercises and see and feel themselves performing their best anytime, anywhere. Odibodi brings the practice field and game day into your mind.<\/p>\n<p>I believe in Odibodi so much that I\u2019ve posted a bunch of mental imagery exercises on Odibodi and plan to create more so I can help more athletes develop a truly effective mental imagery program.<\/p>\n<p>Check out Odibodi and feel free to reach out to me if you have questions. Also, let its CEO, Aimee Martin (aimee@odibodi.com), know if you\u2019d like to use Odibodi to develop customized mental imagery exercises for yourself or your team.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You already know that I believe mental imagery is one of the most powerful tools athletes in any sport can use to maximize their competitive performances.
