Lindsey Vonn visualizing run

[akira700]

I love watching Lindsey Vonn doing her visualizations of her run to come.
Just watched the Super G. Awesome stuff to get the mental stuff setup before you actually hit the slopes!

Have tried doing for a lap at Louden. Useful stuff in all disiplines!

How is Louden? I keep hearing about it but I've never been there.

Is it kinda like Loudon but with a red squiggly line underneath it?

there have actually been studies done on this, and they have found that visualizing the activity is just as good as practicing. For example, one group was told to visualize making jumpshots, and the other actually practiced jumpshots for an hour. Compared to a control group that did not visualize or practice, the visualizers and practicers made more shots, roughly equal to each other.

In case anyone was curious.

I wonder if that could work with sex? If I visualize more sex, would it increase my----lol

[JRide]

I've tried that with Loudon, even timed it as people say you should be able to duplicate your times in your head. I always get around the track much faster in my head.

Oh yeah... It works.

I have much better lap times now.

It's actually called creative visualization, there are many books on the subject and I have studied it for years. it's very effective in martial arts training and some people swear by it for use in sports.

What books? I'm very interested in learning more about it.

2 good books to start.

Creative visualization is a technique to visualize different, positive, scenerios in your life. With the end result being; your goals met. Basically your using the power of your mind to get positive results in your life...work, sports, whatever..it does work if you take it seriously and you practice the tecniques. Most people start and then just give up, it doesn't work overnight. the closest thing I could relate it to would be a form of meditating..

i use it to help with the discipline of trading stocks, weight training, overall health and a prosperous finanacial life


I would imagine it would help with motorcycle racing as well...tremendously

An example would be; you're visualizing yourself through each turn in the track, crossing the finish line in first place, visualizing all the bikes in back of you, visualizing the smell of the exhausts, sounds etc etc...you're doing this over and over for days and weeks and it transforms itself into a real life experience..


Good luck

I used to ski race, and memorizing the course then visualizing your body's reactions to it was incredibly important. I wasn't the guy closing his eyes and swaying back and forth in the starting gate, but I would sit quietly and "feel" each turn, compression, jump, etc in slow motion, then gradually increase the speed in my mind to real-time. It was really helpful, and I imagine could be easily translated to motorcycle racing as well.

I visualize laps all the time. but its more because I'm bored over the winter.

[RyanNicholson]

I'm actually not sure if it'd be possible to race a motorcycle without running laps in your head. JRide, if you're too quick in your mental lap you may need some more reference points. If you don't have very many you tend to fast forward to the next one in any gap.

This was a huge part of the mental battle when I was ski jumping as well.

Thanks man

I'm a big believer.

We use 'arm chair flying' all the time in flight school. Learn a new maneuver, go home, sit in a chair, close your eyes, visualize the instruments in front of you in the cockpit, and fly the entire flight in your head while turning every trim knob, dial, and instrument physically with your hand. Best technique to get good grades on the upcoming flight, besides simulator flights.

There was a special on TV a while back about the Blue Angels. Before every flight, the whole team locks themselves in a private conference room, they close their eyes, and run through the entire performance together while 'lead' calls out the commands, real time. It's pretty amazing stuff.
