How 4 Quiet Minutes Make Loud Results
Turn Stressful Doubt into Solid Confidence with Mental Imagery
Hey TAH Titans,
Have you ever pictured something in your head, like a vivid movie, before it ever happened?
If not, this is your challenge… try it just once this week. You might surprise yourself. Read the rest to learn how, and get your free gift!
Week Theme:
Seeing Success Before It Happens Through The Power of Mental Imagery in Sports
Weekly Info:
I used to stress myself out constantly.
I couldn’t stop seeing everything that could go wrong. Every missed shot. Every failure.
It didn’t help, it hurt. And yet, I couldn’t stop.
Turns out, a lot of the athletes I work with now feel the same way.
That’s the downside of “seeing is believing.”
But there’s another side.
The side where you see something good. Believe something good.
And then? You go and do something good.
This week’s podcast breaks down four real-life moments where mental imagery changed the outcome because the athlete saw it before it happened. Check it out here.
Exclusive Exercise: 4-Minute Vision
Just four minutes. That’s all this takes.
Do it before bed. Let the mind rehearse success while the body rests.
Remember the 4-minute mile? No one believed it was possible, until someone did it.
Then it became normal.
Mental imagery is your personal 4-minute mile.
Exclusive Action Tools:
Clearly visualize the moment you want. Make it specific and real
Trace the steps that would lead you there. See the build-up, not just the outcome
Every day, find one real moment that proves you’re getting closer
In Action:
On the podcast a while ago, Jackson Johannes shared his story of the Drake Relays.
He didn’t just show up and run a time, he saw it in his head, all season long.
Lap after lap in his mind, he locked in the image of that 400-meter time.
So when race day came, his mind had already been there. Breaking the record.
Closing:
See it. Believe it. Become it.
Too often we write off visualization as fluff, but the best don’t. They use it, daily.
So can you.
Need a guide? Here’s a quick unlisted composure and imagery audio to get you started.
Vision ;) you soon,
Gabe
P.S. Give it a shot and let me know how it goes. I’d love to hear what you see, what you’re chasing, and how we can build the mental game around it.
