Jack Nicklaus, the legendary golfer with 73 major tournament victories and $5.7 million in winnings, once said, “I never hit a shot, not even in practice, without having a very sharp, in-focus picture of it in my head. It’s like a color movie. First I ‘see’ where I want it to finish, nice and white and sitting high on the bright green grass. Then the scene quickly changes, and I ‘see’ the ball going there: its path, trajectory, and shape, even its behavior on landing. Then there’s sort of a fade-out, and the next scene shows me making the kind of swing that will turn the previous images into reality."
So, if a legendary golfer winning 73 major tournaments used visualization as a primary tool. How can you use this tool in your life? Would love to hear YOUR thoughts. There is no wrong answer.
That's a great analogy for many activities and tasks in life... also for playing musical instruments in my case...
