The best players in the world sometimes give the impression that they can predict the future and know what will happen on the pitch earlier than the opponent and can behave appropriately.
What do you think, apart from the experience gained in matches and training, makes it happen?
The enormous influence on predicting what will happen on the pitch can be applied and practicing visualization by a footballer.
Many players at the highest level thanks to the visualization have achieved a level that was previously unattainable for them!
Wayne Rooney and Jerzy Dudek, two completely different players, but both playing at world level, expressed exactly the same feelings that they talked about in interviews.
“Right before the game, I like to imagine what might happen next.
How to position yourself for free kicks, how to take corners. Or playing the striker I'm going to compete with.
I close my eyes and see the defender pass to me, take the long ball and play for the striker.
I can really see it and feel it.
Like a skier preparing for a slalom and remembering every goal on the slope. It's a bit like imagining driving a car with the engine off.
I get behind the wheel and then adjust the mirrors and seat.
I hit the clutch, check when one and two come in. Now you can turn the ignition key and go.
And when I go to the match and go to the first cross, I already know how to behave, because I saw it in the eyes of my imagination a moment ago. "
It was the perspective of Dudek as a goalkeeper and Rooney as a striker. He was talking about something practically identical, but from the perspective of a striker because he imagined shots, dribbles, duels, etc.
Dudek recalled that it was thanks to visualization that he managed to save penalties in the Champions League final
Rooney claims that many times before the match he imagined the goals and then exactly this happened on the pitch during the match.
How to apply a visualization?
Before each match and training session, find a quiet place, close your eyes, calm your breath and imagine the successful plays you train in training, the patterns of the game, imagine the matches won, successful dribbles, etc.
Their visualization session lasts about 10 minutes.
Thanks to this, you will get the impression that the match has already been played and you are a few steps ahead of your opponent!
