    " In sports, mental imagery is used primarily to help you get the best out of yourself in training and competition.

They use it daily as a means of directing what will happen in training, and as a way of pre-experiencing their best competition performances."

    I've got hope, I've got dreams and I have aspirations.
    I don't need to climb mountains; I don't need to build nations.
    What I do need is the courage to look deep inside,
    Cos I'm me and from me I know I can't hide.
    I don't wish to fly, I'm quite happy to glide.
    I am who I am and I'll be me with pride.
