BIG BROWN AND VISUALIZATION

I have advised many athletes on how to apply visualization to get to the winner's circle.

The jockey of BIG BROWN, winner of this year's Kentucky Derby, shared his visualizing formula with the world after Saturday's race.

When asked if he envisioned winning this race, aboard the front runner for racing's Triple Crown (Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes), the diminutive jock's face lit up as he recalled the days leading up to the race.

I dreamed this race every night for the past several weeks.

I saw myself in the race and crossing the finish line first.

I believe when the race took place, I was the most prepared, because I was able to make the adjustments, since I had raced this race so many times before in my dreams.

What we have here is not only a dreamer.

We have a visualizer.

Now, he will forever be called a Kentucky Derby champion.

Alas, Visionaire wasn't in this race from the beginning.

I guess that means I can make progress with jockeys, but it might take a little bit longer to teach racehorses to visualize.
