Use Partial Movements
Some athletes find it hard to create a vivid image while lying down because they do not execute their sport skills from that position. A wrestler may find it easier to create a vivid image by getting into a position similar to that used when actually wrestling. Many athletes also find that performing partial movement makes it easier to create vivid images. A volleyball player might move her arms as though she were serving, and a snowboarder might move as though carving a turn.
