Episode Details

Celebrating her very first day 100% full-time on the podcast from her LA studio, Sasha dives deep into the peer-reviewed neuroscience proving that visualization actually works. Highlighting two groundbreaking studies—a 2019 basketball free-throw study on dynamic motor imagery and a MRI scan study on motor cortex activation—Sasha breaks down why vivid mental rehearsal lights up the premotor cortex, primary motor cortex, and cerebellum just like real-world execution. Learn how to turn up the "vividness dial" on your mental imagery to supercharge athletic performance, accelerate physical healing, and program your subconscious for massive real-world wins.
