    Mental Fitness - Visualisation for Athletes

    Humans use imagery every day, but often we are not aware of the pictures going through our minds. By training ourselves to be aware of our imagery we can use this natural skill in a more strategic way. Imagery can be a helpful way to manage the psychological and emotional demands we experience as an athlete. This guided resource aims to give you an introduction to using imagery and will support athletes to develop their own imagery scripts.

    Mental Fitness - The Body Scan Meditation

    This short guided body scan can help us to begin to understand how stress and anxiety takes hold and can be supportive in aiding rest, relaxation and recovery. A mindful body scan is a useful technique to help you learn what your body does and doesn’t need in order to get the best from it. During the body scan meditation we become aware of where in our bodies we hold physical tension. We can notice minor aches and pains which could indicate injury and become aware of where in our body we hold emotions we find difficult.
