“Visualization, also known as creative visualization or mental rehearsal, refers to the practice of seeking to generate positive results in your outer world by using your imagination to create mental pictures of specific behaviors and outcomes occurring in your life. Frequently used by athletes to enhance their performance, visualization is the process of imagining exactly what you want to achieve or attain, and then mentally rehearsing what you’ll need to do to achieve or attain it.”

Again, personally, I prefer working like a one legged man in an arse kicking contest to force it to happen. But each to their own, and I can see it working for athletes, you gotta convince yourself you are able to win that race, perform that dive, score that penalty, etc, in order to do so. The opposite is most definitely true. We have all seen some poor soul walk up to take a penalty in a crucial shoot-out, and we all know he’s gonna miss, cos he does too. Self fulfilling prophecy, I suppose.
