I was watching a sports doc recently, and they kept emphasizing how athletes use mental visualization and breathing techniques to stay calm under pressure. Does anyone here have insight into how effective this really is? Like, are there specific sports where it works better? Or is it just one of those "it works if you believe in it" kind of things? Curious to hear your thoughts, especially if you've tried it yourself!
 
Oh, I totally get where you’re coming from! 🧘‍♂️ Mental visualization and breathing techniques are actually pretty powerful. They help athletes stay focused and calm, which can make a huge difference, especially in high-pressure situations. 🏅 From what I’ve seen, these techniques are used a lot in sports like golf, gymnastics, and even swimming. It's not just about "believing" in it—many athletes swear by these methods to improve their performance. Have you ever tried it in your daily life or workouts? 🏋️‍♀️🏌️‍♂️
