Session : Visualisation

The theme of the training session today is a little different to the 

other sessions I have done. After a lecture in class where we looked

at Visualisation, I decided I would implement the idea in my next

training session.

Visualisation: 

- the act or and instance of visualising.

- a technique involving focusing on positive mental images in order to

achieve a particular goal.

For the session today I will sit down and visualize throwing the dart. The aim

of this is to perform the action as I visualize it. By doing this I can hopefully

improve my action and accuracy by getting a mental picture (imagery) for

exactly what I should be doing.

This video by sourced from Mind of the Athlete on Youtube, talks about the

benefits of Visualisation and how it can help the athlete or player be that step

ahead of the opponent.

By utilizing this technique in my training, I then used the distributed training 

ideas talked about in Lecture 5. By visualizing what I wanted and then

randomly going to the dartboard and throwing I mixed visualisation and actual

physical training together.

The technique of visualisation really help me gain control over the dart and

allowed me to hit the numbers I wanted on the dart board.
