OVERVIEW
Focus and imagery are two skills essential in the gymnast’s toolbox which need to be enhanced as they move through the competitive pathway particularly.
Focus is the ability to focus to block out distractions and maintain their concentration on the task at hand, whilst imagery means using all of your senses (e.g., see, feel, hear, taste, smell) to rehearse your sport in your mind.
