Episode Details

Visualization is one of the simplest mental training tools out there and most coaches have no idea how to actually run it. Get the free training here that shows you how → https://coachfreetraining.com

In this episode, I'm breaking down three practical ways I use visualization with my team before every practice, before big games, and in the moments when I can feel the stress in the room.

No scripts to memorize. No extra prep. Just tools you can start using this week.

👋🏼 I'm Coach Bre, a 4-time state champion volleyball coach and Certified Mental Performance Coach. I've spent 14+ years coaching girl athletes and built The Elite Competitor to give coaches proven, plug-and-play mental training systems that actually work.  

Here's what you'll learn:
✅ How the 321 BRAVE routine sets the mental tone before practice even starts
✅ Why pre-game visualization should focus on execution, not the outcome
✅ How to read the room and use visualization on the fly when your team needs it most

The science is clear: mental rehearsal fires the same neural pathways as physical performance. Which means every time your athlete visualizes a skill, she's literally training her brain.

Visualization = Confidence. Here's how to make it work.

P.S. Here's what the research shows:  
⚡️ Mental rehearsal alone can increase muscle strength by up to 35% - without any physical movement. (Cleveland Clinic, 2014)
⚡️ Athletes who use mental imagery report significantly higher confidence and lower pre-competition anxiety than those who don't. (Munroe-Chandler & Hall, Journal of Applied Sport Psychology, 2004)
⚡️A meta-analysis of 133 studies found that mental imagery interventions significantly improve sport performance across skill levels and sport types. (Simonsmeier et al., Psychology of Sport and Exercise, 2020)
