Visualisation and Mental Rehearsal with Dr. Anne Isaac

Published on: 12th October, 2021

Visualisation and mental rehearsal are training techniques widely used in the sports field to reduce anxiety, build confidence and improve concentration, as well as to overcome potential problems and improve performance. But did you know that these techniques could be used to improve performance in other fields, such as aviation and medicine?

Having deeply studied the topic and applied it when she worked with the All Blacks and the New Zealand Olympic Teams, and then with pilots and air traffic controllers around the world, Dr. Anne Isaac is the ideal person to share her knowledge about visualisation, situation awareness and mental rehearsal.
