Dr. Tara Swart explains why mental rehearsal comes before action. She uses pole vault training as an example: athletes visualize the performance first, then practice it physically. Skipping the mental work makes execution less effective.
Once you think, okay, this is not working for me. This is how I would rather my life should be.
This is my vision. This is my dream, my goal. This is the outcome that I want.
Yeah. It's not immediately a case of doing something. So really.
It'S not about taking action right away.
Not right away. And I will, like, you know, use you as an example of all the mental rehearsal that you did when you were doing the decathlon.
Yes.
So, you know, you know what you want to achieve with that decathlon, let's say with the pole vaulting. Then you spend all those hours just playing it over in your head. Then you actually go out and do the practice pole vaulting, and then you compete. So it's kind of like that.
So it's mental rehearsal, visualization, then the physical practice, then the moment.
