Visualisation (also know as Mental Rehearsal) the ability to create or recreate an event or image in the mind.
We use Visualisation a lot in in canoe slalom.
Why do we use visualisation?
Write down what you think.
We can visualise from a few different perspectives
1 - From out of the boat and above (3rd person) (Drone View)
1 - From out of the boat and above (3rd person) (Drone View)
2 - From out of the boat and the side (3rd person)
3 - From in the boat (1st person)
What are the advantages of each perspective?
Write down what you think.
My answers to both questions can seen HERE
Final Video
This final video some paddling from the the top section of Lee Valley. The video shows each of the three perspectives.
Our visualisation can be as simple or as complex as we like/want it to be. Looking from above for example could just look very simple like this below.
In the next few weeks discuss this with others and trying some visualisation of our own.
