Hi there! Your videos have great content. I am a college athlete and would love to get in touch….
Thanks. Interesting video. Dispenza’s book is amaizing, isn’t it? I’m also very inspired by his teachings.
Very nice and clear condensation of a lot of science! Good practical tips. Thanks!
Your an incredible inspiring person, Michael…
Thanks for existing, dude… 😉
Hello Dear❤️
I need to watch every week to keep inspired, motivated and remember what others have done.

Continue MAKING IT videos on VISUALIZATION YOU are GREATThanks!Visualization Techniques, I’m watching everyday videos to learn a deeper and deeper way.

It wasn’t even a real motivational speech…It was just him winning his medals…and then a “anything can happen” at the end
Great stuff! You have a new subscriber and I will watch the rest of your videos
This channel is terrific. What are some of the sources where you’re getting this information?
I visualized my free throws I made twenty four 24 free throws in my mind well practicing my form and then when I went and practiced all my shooting and scoring moves when I got to free throws I drained all of them!!!
I highly recommend you watch the full video to understand the science of why you should follow the 3 tips. It will give you a better understanding and appreciation of the importance of visualization for enhancing athletic performance (and why it is the most commonly used strategy by elite level athletes and sports psychologists). Thanks for watching and happy training!
I was visualizing this type of channel. Concise, direct and with very practical information.
Your channel is amazing very good content and very educational. Please keep this up
wow!!! the best in the world you did it Michael you are the bomb. destine for greatness.
Wow what a great explanation! More videos like these please! I need constant evidence so that I stay with it!
I do mental laps days leading up to a race, talking myself through what I’m doing, for example a lap at Sebring would be:
“Approaching turn 1, wait for the end of the wall to turn in, wait, wait, now turn and downshift. Back to power, feel it out for turn 2, brake at the 2 cone and 2 downshifts. Use the brake release to help the car rotate to get a good setup for 3, drive it in hard before arcing it in for 4. Wait for the 3 1/2 cone for turn in at 5, wait for it, wait, wait, wait, brake downshift and arc it in for 5. Don’t be too early with your apex, use all of that curb. Back to power mid corner and through the first set of esses. Turn 7 coming up, wait for the 2 marker, push 2 1/2 if possible. Wait for it, brake at 2 and off the brake quickly before turn in. Back to power before apex, let it track out just a bit and flat out to 8. Straight shot into 8, quick brake at the 2 1/2, push for the 1 mark if possible, Apex early to have enough space to track out. Flat through the 2 left handers before the second esses, light brake at the 2 1/2, back to power at if not a bit before the apex. Track out a good bit, down shift once and light brake before turn in for 16 before the long back straight. Wait for the 2 for turn in, wait, wait, wait, wait, 2 marker, turn in and brake at the flag stand. Back to power just before the bridge, be lined up with the blue mark on it. Stay inside for a bit before tracking out for the front straight.
Rinse and repeat
If I visualize an sport movement example jab cross in boxing wold I get better at it?

Awesome video, well put together and easy to follow, thank you!!:)
Keep with your great job your videos are so quality and helpful ❤️
Thanks for this vid, may i ask where do u think u will go when u die u dont have to answer the question thanks again.
Important notes:
1. I do not think visual imagery (visualization) directly causes epigenetic effects. As far as I can tell from Joe Dispenza’s books, the epigenetic effects he has observed seem to be a byproduct of lowering people’s stress levels and achieving high energy states of consciousness through a combination of meditation and visual imagery. If it is the case that visual imagery can lead to epigenetic effects, I’m not sure how relevant this would be for improving sports performance.
2. I don’t think the strength gains from the research I mentioned in the video are very relevant for elite athletes. I believe the strength gains are a by-product of neural adaptations that make movement patterns more efficient. Since high level athletes already have very efficient movement patterns, I doubt this would have a strong effect/improvement on their performance.
That being said, there is solid research suggesting that visual imagery can increase self-efficacy (confidence) and motivation (which can help improve performance).
I will make an updated video in the future where I’ll go into detail on what the research suggests is relevant to improving performance. I will also make a video dissecting and diving deeper into some of the ideas in this video to highlight some of the mistakes I made.
Keep in mind that I’m constantly learning. Sometimes (as in the case in this video) I realize that my knowledge on the topic was insufficient and that I need to do more and better research to give more accurate information.
NO MATTER WHAT YOU SET YOUR IMAGINATION TO, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN
I’m so grateful for all your hard work. This is mix of everything, science, sport, medicine. As a medstudent and athlete all videos are ideal for me. Big thanks, hope you’ll have great day. Made my day. Please never stop making those Videos
This is a great mental skill to practice and I definitely use this a lot in my coaching both as a mental coach and soccer coach. It’s very useful indeed.
Michael I hope you are satisfied as you say in the video. You have done something that changed the world for anyone who has a heart. You took us all on such a great adventure and let us all see what a hero looks like. You made the world see that heroes still exist.
Hello Andres! I have lost the ability to visualize… How would I go about improving my performance and skills? To clarify, I cannot dream or see mental visual images at all No sounds, sights or emotion. Just darkness. I used to visualize for fun when learning board games. It helped me create traps and strategies and most importantly… recognize patterns. Do you have any suggestions on the matter? They call it “Aphantasia” Keep up the good content.
I just talked about this in a recent video of mine! He’s truly a legend!
That’s a really good work. I’m big fan of visualisation too and it’s working so much! I’mm both an artist and athlete and i use visualization for both of my practices, all i can say is people should be aware of our true potential. Can you please reply in my comment or message me the research articles/books that you used as sources for this video? (i’m writing an e-book about body-mind training and any extra material is really helpful. Thank you
Hi there! I plan to reference your video with full credit on an article of mine in reference to visualization for health/wellness. Please let me know if you’d like it to be removed, however, and I’ll be more than happy to do so! The article can be found here: https://healthylivinglivingwell.wordpress.com/2019/03/02/visualization-actualization/
his definition of visualization/visualizing…. i was waiting to hear more and he said “and that’s it.” and i was like, damn! and i wondered if the rest of the vid would…go as such. fortunately, it did not. good save dude!
Thank you SO MUCH for all your hard work in putting this information together. I wanted you to know that you are helping so many people, not just athletes. I’m a 270 lb woman who is starting her weight loss journey with simple yoga and plain old walking in in my local area. I came to your channel, not for exercising ideas (which you can get anywhere) but for information about the mind-body link when it comes to moving my body. I have great dreams for my future health and wellness, and this video shows me that reaching them is possible, and that much of that starts in the mind. Once again, THANK YOU!!! You’re a star.:)
I am a senior golf pro, I have tried every swing there is, with hope of finding a swing i can repeat.Over the years i have got worse.My feeling is that i need a repeatable swing to play good, but i have never managed this.Sometimes on the range,I just hit draws and fades with no swing thoughts.I would never miss a shot.It feels the opposite of what im supposed to do.Swing 1 { technique thoughts} trying to get into the perfect position does not work. Swing 2, { no technique thoughts} I will hit it so much better but feel its not the right way to go about it.Would you suggest i use method swing 2, Thankyou
