Mental Imagery Will Soon Be Everywhere…….Will it be in you?

If you are a fan of pop psychology, you are no doubt aware that our mind is often working even if we have no idea what it is up to.

For example, when we purchase a new car, it is not unusual to suddenly observe this model car everywhere we travel.

Did our investment suddenly lead to a spree buying of the exact model throughout the nation?

Of course, the answer is that we have tuned our powerful minds to recognize this car and instantly our minds serve as scanners and signal us whenever eye contact is made with the very same automobile.

And that is how I feel about the amazing psychological science of mental imagery. Whether you call it visualization or seeing in the mind's eye or MOVIES, as I like to refer to it, mental imagery has the power to change lives.

I first came across this power in my late teens. I can tell you one thing for sure. If you bring Mental Imagery into your life, your life will never be the same. I have found that those, who are dedicated to the practice of Mental Imagery, make MOVIES each day for the rest of their lives.

These Mental Imagery practitioners apply MOVIES to their lives with exceptional results. Money, health, career, sports, and memory are only some of the fruits they enjoy.

I find that almost everyone practices Mental Imagery, even if they truly don't know what it is all about. If you buy that new car and then begin to see the same model all over town, you can sense just a fragment of the massive power of Mental Imagery.

Keep reading this blog and learn more about this life changing power.

It can change your life no matter what road you are on in life's journey.

And even though most adults want to jump ahead to its power and attraction to the material elements of money and success, Mental Imagery can help a child acquire the classroom tools necessary for their future success.

This is one of the many topics I will be sharing with others at our Mental Imagery Coaching Education Conference later this year in San Diego.

I invite you to be one of our very special participants.

 

 

Before I Ever Throw A PItch

I have been studying with a mental game coach.

I pitch the night before I pitch.

This is how it works.

At night, I relax in bed and my mental projector begins to film the scene I will face the next day. I see myself in my mind's eye throwing easily and confidently as I sense my muscles begin to unwind and my body adapts to the mental workout.

A measured sense of balance and relaxation fills my chest. I breathe fully and the air escapes my lungs enhances my sense of calm. I have never previously discovered such a sense of peace.

My movie in my mind continues as I begin to add some pace to my warm-ups. Now, I am throwing all of my pitches with crispness and velocity. The ball is exploding into my receiver's oversized glove. The pop into his glove has some of the opposing players shooting looks my way. Clearly, they are intimidated by the sounds of my pitching. Purposely, I back off a bit on the velocity. No sense showing all of my tools before the game ever begins.

Now, I am in a perfect groove. I can throw the ball wherever I want, whenever I want. I have no fear of any batter. I know they have fear of me. When I take the mound tomorrow, I will recall this fresh film I have developed in my mind. I will remember what it was like to have impeccable control. I will remember the intimidated glances of the opposition. I will take in the entire scene and apply the movies I have made in my mind.

I have completed my mental preparation. I am fatigued from my mental workout. It is a sweet fatigue and soon, I drift off to sleep.

Tomorrow, I will wake refreshed and with a fresh video in mind, I will immediately lock into a positive vibe which will carry me right through my game.

Once I was a talented athlete with an idea how to pitch.

Now, I am a talented athlete, mentally prepared to pitch and win.

I am destined to become a champion.

The Mental Game on Game Day

Once you learn how to make Movies in your Mind, you will own the power to play your game before the game is ever played.

Do You Need A Mental Game Coach?

You are a golfer who needs to sink a makeable putt on the final hole to make the match.
You are thinking to yourself that you just can’t miss this putt. From past experience, you know full well that praying that you won’t miss will likely lead to the miss you most dread.
You are the left-fielder on your varsity baseball team and you are getting a shot to be on the first team. You are pretty confident when it comes to your offense, but you hope that the ball will not be hit to you.
You are the leading guard on your basketball team. Throughout most of the game, you are the focal point of your team’s offense, but when it comes down to the final minute, you don’t want the ball in your hands.
You are the middle linebacker on your football team. It is the senior season you have waited for your entire life. Your defense is all league, but your coach asks you to be the featured running back as well. You have no confidence at that position and you fear you will be an embarrassment.
What do all of these athletes have in common?
They need a mental game coach.
How do I know?
I have worked with all of these athletes.
Every athlete who achieves a milestone such as making or starting on their team, has indicated a certain level of talent.
They have been coached arduously to bring this talent front and center.
But what about their mental game?
Who has coached them in this crucial factor in the full athletic package?
I am writing this today to promise you that you are about to hear a great deal about the mental game of coaching.
Personally, I work with athletes in all sports, students who want to excel in school, entrepreneurs and others who want to use a great deal more of their brain they currently are applying to their life.
That is what champions do.
I coached Chris to believe every putt was going in the hole.
Stacy now wants the ball hit to her.
Austin lets his teammates know that as the clock runs down, he wants the ball.
Joe became one of the greatest fullbacks in the history of his school.
The Mental game was once a secret shared by very few champions.
Now, a whole new generation of champions is finding out the true power of a mental game.
On the playing field, in the classroom, in business, in coaching, parenting and in any arena in life where one seeks peak performance, there is a new game in town.
The mental game.
Find someone who convinces you that they know what the mental game is all about.
When you discover that perfect mental game coach, I assure you they will make a difference in your game and a difference in your life.

Zen Putting: A Book Review by Steve Tarde

Once you learn to compete without being tied to the end result, this newly discovered freedom will fill you with unbounded power.

I first wrote those words to teach athletes the secret of champions in my lectures.
Dr. Joe Parent writes cogently about this secret of detachment in his marvelous new book ZEN PUTTING.
I teach mental skills to athletes, entrepreneurs, kids and their parents.
Dr. Joe focuses on the game of golf where his popular programs originate from the majestic Ojai Valley Inn and Spa Resort, near Santa Barbara California.
I have read thousands of books on mental imagery. As far as I know, I am the only CPA who applies the skills of mental imagery, which I call Movies to entrepreneurial success.
Within the first few pages of Zen Golf (Dr. Joe’s first book), I knew I was reading the words of a master in the mental game.
I suggest you pick up either Zen Golf or Zen Putting. Within minutes, you will be mesmerized as well.
Joe takes you places only the greatest of mental champions have gone.
You will discover the secret formula of the best players in sport today.
I study and speak about the secrets known by the greatest athletes of yesterday and today. I teach the champions of tomorrow the mental game of Maravich, West, Jordan, Garvey , Jeter, Pujols, Elway, Woods, Wade and many others.
Just take a peek at the magical words of Dr. Joe Parent, articulating on the power of detachment and what it can immediately mean to your mental game and improved round of golf.
By focusing on the process of putting without attachment to results, you connect with the unconditional confidence out of which certainty about a particular putt arises.
I must say Joe has nailed for me the concept of detachment. The next time Wade nails a three pointer. Jeter gets a clutch hit or Woods sinks a crucial putt, don’t think for one moment it was only their talent.
Many athletes have the talent, but there is one aspect of their game which sets them apart as champions in their sport.
That would be their mental game. You can try to discover the mental game for yourself, but when a book comes along such as Zen Putting, I say devour it and apply the teachings to your game.
Your will never look at your golf game or your life with the same set of eyes.

Steve Tarde Teaches Movies to Athletes

Steve Tarde Teaches Movies to Athletes and Coaches Seeking Championship Goose Bumps!

I help athletes and coaches to become champions.
It started with a Movie I made just before my final at bat in the last inning in a game against Northport High School in Long Island, New York.
It was in the year that rocked America.
That would be 1968.
I was 18 years old as I stepped to the plate.
The score was 2-1 Northport and we were down to our very last out.
We had a runner perched on second base.
Having struck out my two previous at bats, I should have walked to the dish with one thing in mind.
Not striking out to end the game.
That would have been the mindset of most athletes.
Something happened to me on my way from the batter circle to home plate.
A Movie began to play in my mind.

I stepped into the batter’s box and locked into the eyes of the southpaw hurler. No longer did I have a feeling of desperation. That was replaced with a confident detachment. I wasn’t fixed on the outcome of this one at bat. I wasn’t fixed on it because my lack of confidence had been replaced with unbounded confidence. I expected to get a hit.
The pitch came across the plate and the next sound I heard was the sweet crack of the bat. We still used wood in those high school games long ago. The ball shot over the head of the shortstop and began to dance into left center field. The tying run scored and when the dust had lifted, I was standing on second base.
I could hear car horns blowing from my friends’ cars beyond the right field fence. I rubbed the goose bumps on my arms and bathed in the spotlight every athlete dreams of………………..

Suddenly, the umpire brought me back to the present:
“Play Ball!”
Was that a reverie I had been experiencing?
Was any of it real?
Of course, I was seconds from knowing the real answer.
Still, it had all seemed so real. It was if I had been here before.
And then the pitch came in and my bat drove the ball over the shortstop and began to dance into left center field. The tying run scored, car horns began to blow……….and you know the rest of the story.
And for the past forty years, I have taught thousand of athletes and coaches to have their goose bumps moment.
Maybe you will be the next athlete or coach who I will teach the power of Movies.
Then you will be on your way to your own personal championship moment.

Steve Tarde teaches his life changing Movies at corporate events, coaching clinics and one-one.
