The effect of individualised self-talk during imagery on netball shooting performance

Previous studies showed that imagery is widely used for the enhancement of sports performance. Some findings showed that individualised self-talk can overcome anxiety, thus, improve athletes' performance. Positive self-talk is believed to enhance motivation, and concentration. In contrast, nega...

description Previous studies showed that imagery is widely used for the enhancement of sports performance. Some findings showed that individualised self-talk can overcome anxiety, thus, improve athletes' performance. Positive self-talk is believed to enhance motivation, and concentration. In contrast, negative self-talk is deemed to have a negative effect on performance as it fosters self-doubt and anxiety. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of using individualised self-talk during imagery on netball shooting performance. A total of n = 28 female participants participated in this study. They were assigned to two groups, a) Self-talk during imagery intervention (n= 15 ) and b) Control group (n= l3). A pre-test netball shooting performance was conducted before the intervention, and a post-test netball shooting performance was conducted after participants completed their 12 sessions of imagery intervention with individualised self-talk. Participants' profiles were measured using Sport Imagery Ability Measurement (SIAM), Rosenberg Self- Esteem Scale, and Revised Competitive State Anxiety Inventory 2 (CSAI-2R). The results showed that the participants had acceptable imagery skills, on which they scored a total mean score of 720.35 over 1200 points. There were significant differences between pre to post measurement four weeks for cognitive state anxiety scores (p = 0.009) but there was no significant difference in somatic anxiety (p = 0.986) and self-confidence scores (p = 0.971) respectively. Furthermore, that there was no significant difference between both groups on netball shooting performance (p = 0.735). In conclusion, there were some positive effects of using individualised self-talk during imagery intervention on netball shooting performance.
