Two athletes discuss how visualization prepares you for pressure moments. Speaker A calls it the biggest shot of their career and uses it constantly, in the offseason and before games, to rehearse tough scenarios and stay sharp whether shots land or not.
Definitely the biggest shot of my career.
And, yeah, I mean, I would say, like, I visualize a lot when I'm practicing in the off season, the night before a game, the day of a game. Like, I'm always visualizing different scenarios and putting myself in tough situations. Like, obviously, I didn't play my best tonight, but finding a way to continue to stick with it. And I feel like that's been a big growth for me, whether the ball's going in or not. But, yeah, definitely the biggest shot of my career, and hopefully not the last.
I really didn't realize how far out I was.
Yeah, like, I kind of, you know, wasn't sure if I was dribbling with my right or left hand. And then I was like, oh, yeah, I did hit that. Step back. But like I said, it's a shot that I take often. I take in practice, I take before the game. It's not like a Hail Mary. Hope this goes in. It was like, once I got it off, I was like, yeah, this is it.
