Ok I'm going out on a limb here (catch me Shirley McClain). However I remember hearing in the early 1980's how the Dallas Cowboys used visualization with a Samahdi flotation tank. It apparently started with the kicker, Rafael Septien. While floating in the tank he was shown highlight films of himself kicking perfect field goals and extra points. During this time he had 3 seasons where he made 100% of his point after kicks. H scored in the 90's the other seasons. He also made between 60 and 80% of his field goals. According to announcers of the day, the Cowboys also used this techniques with Tony Dorsett and other players to help them visualize themselves making perfect runs or perfect tackles.Subject: Need Help From: Annette Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Fri, 3 Oct 2003 13:10:38 -0700 (PDT) X-Message-Number: 3
Hi everyone:
I need help again.
My son's hockey coach has asked me to put together a little program to give to the players--14 to 16 years old--about the use of visualization to help with their performance. I think he wants a presentation and handout.
(He thinks because I teach psychology I KNOW these things!)

Ok, so you don't have $1700-$10,000 for a tank. It seems to me that if you simply recorded the players games and practices. Edit the tape down to their most perfect performances and have them watch these tapes in a relaxed state, you should get the same effect.
Anyone want to apply to the INSTITUTE NOETIC SCIENCES for a grant?
