Visualizing the Course

Many life coaches, sport coaches and motivational speakers encourage their clients to visualize their dreams and goals to help them achieve success. I've been watching the Olympics whenever I get a chance because they inspire me to say the least. Here are people that have devoted so much of their time, talent and money just to have a chance to compete in the games and give it their all day day after day.
 
One thing I noticed the other day in the Super G skiing competition with both men and women - several were visualizing the course and the outcome of the race, I'm sure. They were able to look at the course prior to the race but they could not ski the course so many were visualizing themselves skiing down the mountain.
 
Their eyes were closed and their bodies moving in motion as though they were on their skis making their way to the finish line. There's a lot to be said about visualization. If we visualize our goals and dreams and really feel the excitement of being there, then when we actually arrive there it will feel so normal as though we’ve been here before; a feeling of comfort one might say.
