visualization is the key to doing anything... Your unconscience mind can do it, just convince the physical side to follow through

visualizing is important with any difficult physical activity. when i was learning how to pass in hockey, if i would visualize the pass it would go right to the other guys stick every time.
 
Posted this a few years ago on PWC.today, my attempt at a roll so inspired me that I came up with a little poetry:

I'm heading out, to Lake Michigan
For a day of riding, let the fun begin!

Dropped the ski in the water, and fired her up
She's running great, not a single hiccup

Ride out to the waves, they're looking good
Think it's time to fly, oh yes I would!

Spot a nice wave, time to try a roll
Hope I don't crash, and end up on a shoal

So I gas it hard, straight up the face
Time to get busy, for a change of pace

Near the top, bars hard to port
No looking back, no time to abort

Tucked down hard, holding down my chin
Just like Smitty told me, you should see my grin

Up in the air, I'm starting to fly
See nothing but water, and then the sky

Coming down fast, somethings not right
Spot nothing but water, no sky in sight

I hit the water, upside down is me
Only thing above me, is a big blue ski

Next thing I know, I get hit in the head
Handle pole, hood, I'm probably dead

Next time I'm riding, I'm wearing a lid
To protect me melon, from what I just did

Oh yes I was saved, not because I'm good
Cause I keep my plastic Jesus, strapped under the hood!

good advice. I visualize my new tricks all the time.

visualization and simulation :biggthumpup:

a wise woman once told me that if you can't visualize yourself being someplace or being someone you want to be, you will never get there.. I think it really helps you mentally prepare for difficult things in your life... werd?
