The power of visualization

In Creating a Champion, Vol. 12, No. 2, Jackie Joyner-Kersee says:

I visualize myself being successful. I see it and it's up to me to perform it. Once I'm standing there, I see myself running down the runway. I see myself kicking off. I see myself jumping. I see myself landing. I see myself coming off the pit. What an excellent jump! I see all of that.

Now it's time for me to do it. As I'm running down the runway, I'm only feeling it. I'm not seeing anymore. And everything happens just like I saw it.
