Why to think about your successes and best races is important precisely in moments of difficulty, as after a defeat or a bad run? The explanation is shown in the graphic about the mood states, where it can see that the elite athletes compared to other people show a profile dominated by the state of mind called Vigor, that is a mental condition in which the individual feels strong, full of energy and purposeful, while the mood negative characteristics which are tension, depression, anger, fatigue and confusion are lower. Mentally relive the best moments of the sporting careers can re-experience this positive state of mind, increasing the confidence to be able to do well the next one.
Thanks for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbor were just preparing to do some research about this. We got a grab a book from our local library but I think I learned more clear from this post. I am very glad to see such magnificent info being shared freely out there.
