Does visualization work? You betcha!
Cheerleaders, cheer coaches and cheer parents often write to me with all sorts of questions about the mental game of cheerleading and I am happy to respond!
Recently, I wrote about a cheerleader who was getting ready for tryouts and who had lost her confidence. She had been on the squad for the most recent season but was worried about the stiff competition for this year. She wanted help getting her confidence back.
I made several recommendations and am happy to report the result (in her words):
”Thank you sooo much! You were right – I made varsity! Your advice helped a lot. Right before I went in front of the judges to try out I used your visualization. I found myself a corner and did the breathing exercise. By the time I went onstage I was so ready. I know I did the best I could and it paid off. It feels great to be back with my old squad! Thanks for believing in me:)”
What distinguished this cheerleader from others? Well, she was eager for help and – most importantly – she took the advice and immediately put it into practice. She took action and it worked. Bravo!
Want more? Check out my special training program called The Mental Game of Cheerleading: Tryouts! which is a 2-CD audio program with a 50 page workbook. There is a digital (downloadable) version as well (which costs less!).
And keep those cards and letters coming!
