Day Dreaming

Day dreaming in sports is a key way of mentally preparing yourself for the competition that awaits you (Abrahams 27). Day dreaming is a helpful tool that allows you to map out the tasks at which you need to complete so that you are most prepared for the real test of competition.

In my experience day dreaming has helped me to become motivated to reach my full potential and work harder toward my goals. In order for this tactic to be effective you need to picture yourself as the best, yourself at your maximum potential.

Abrahams says, "I believe that Rooney was sitting on his sofa or lying in his bed picturing how he wanted to play" (30). He is talking about how even the best players in the world still need to do all the simple mental things in order to be best prepared. Preparation is key in any situation no matter who you are.

How does  being mentally prepared effect the outcome of your activity over being physically prepared?
