I work with athletes of all ages, helping them overcome common mental challenges like performance anxiety. I emphasize mental imagery as a key tool to boost confidence by visualizing success. My research focuses on whether using imagery skills can improve putting accuracy in novice golfers in the Southwest U.S. Studies show that elite athletes and advanced golfers use imagery more effectively, especially in practice and pre-performance routines. My study explores how imagery use impacts performance outcomes for novice golfers.
