Research has supported the powerful effects of visualization on the body in general and in athletic performance in particular. While working on my Ph.D. at the University of California, Irvine I conducted a research project on the effects of visualization combined with a physical cue with Division I men and women basketball players. The results were astounding. The significant athletic improvement and the strong interest in and demand for more mental training of this kind has led me to develop this series of CDs. While the results vary depending on a number of variables, personality type, previous experience with visualization, motivation level, time of and repetition of use, the majority of athletes improved their performance significantly, particularly if used consistently before practice. The CD available now has been tailored to the training needs of basketball players and CDs with visualizations to enhance golf and tennis performance are in production. I have joined my colleague, Patti Leviton, a Certified Hypnotherapist, who is an expert in the field of using visualization for healing, to produce this series of CDs. Patti, not only uses visualization with her clients in pain management and healing but has used this method for healing through brain cancer herself. With her visualization expertise and my research and work with athletes on mental training and enhancement this C.D. has emerged as an incredibly helpful tool to develop and enhance athletic performance.
