PYC4812 Assignment 3 (COMPLETE ANSWERS) 2025 - DUE August 2025 Imagery can be a difficult technique to learn, but when mastered, it can allow an athlete to visualise performing their specialty as if it were happening in real time. As an example, Canadian born freestyle skier Cassie Sharpe said that “In my preparation for competition, I would spend hours envisioning what I wanted to execute and how it should feel. I would even create bad scenarios that could occur, feeling the pressure and discomfort, and rehearse what my appropriate response would be. When it was time to compete, I felt ready for any and every situation” Nicole W. Forrester, The Conversation, 22 February 2018. Goal-setting is one of the common approaches in applied psychology. Bob Bowman, longtime coach of American swimmer Michael Phelps recognises the value of goal-setting. Bowman said that “Phelps may be the most goal-orientated person on the planet.” David Carlin, Forbes, 10 January 2020. Emeka Megwa, an American former Husky football player filed a civil case against the University of Washington seeking damages for alleged medical negligence. Megwa is seeking damages from the university and nine current or former members of the university’s sports medicine staff, football coaching staff, athletic trainers, and physical therapists. Megwa claims that medical negligence relating to ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injury rehabilitation resulted in another ACL injury. Andy Yamashita, Seattle Times Reporter, 28 February 2024.

ANSWERS) 2025 - DUE August 2025
1. Use of Imagery in Sport & How It Enhances Performance
Definition
Imagery (or visualisation) is the mental rehearsal of a skill or
performance without actual physical movement. Athletes
create mental pictures, using all senses, to replicate real
competition situations.
How It Enhances Performance
 Skill Refinement – Athletes mentally practice technical
skills, reinforcing correct movement patterns.
 Confidence Building – Seeing themselves succeed
increases self-belief before competitions.
 Stress & Anxiety Control – Visualising stressful scenarios
and coping strategies helps reduce performance anxiety.
 Preparation for Unforeseen Events – As Cassie Sharpe
described, imagining “bad scenarios” prepares athletes to
respond effectively in real time.
 Neural Activation – Brain imaging studies show that
mental rehearsal activates similar neural pathways as
physical practice, strengthening skill memory.
