As a psychotherapist, I have seen guided imagery change lives. I have also seen it be of little to no use, depending on the individual. From a college basketball standpoint, Doug McDermott from Creighton is one of the most recent success story that I have read about.
An article in Sports Illustrated (3/17) described Doug McDermott's ability to get into the zone as connected to his work with Jack Stark, an Omaha-based sport psychologist. McDermott and Stark would have a mental preparation session before each and every every game. This session would include a hypnotic induction, deep relaxation, and guided imagery. This type of visualization is not uncommon at the highest levels of competition. Of course,
nothing trumps basketball
practice and hard work, but mental imagery can be another useful tool for certain student athletes. Doug McDermott was named first team All American, won the John Wooden award and was named National Player of the Year by 14 different groups. Phenomenal accomplishments, especially considering that McDermott was only a 3 star recruit out of High School and was ranked 34th in the forward position.
