I don't know if I can help you. I am a varsity athlete at Boston College. In my experiences, I have found that I play better in competition if I use mental imagery the night before a game. When I mentally "go through the motions," I feel that my body somehow prepares itself for actually performing the motions. Good luck with your theses!
