Abstract
Ten student-athletes at a NCAA Division III liberal arts college in the Midwest began this study, and seven completed the intervention in full. The purpose of the study was to examine whether weekly use of motor imagery would enhance the athletes' levels of confidence in their sport. Following a six-week intervention period during which the participants engaged in imagery sessions on their own and with the researcher, the majority of athletes scored higher on a measurement of sport confidence than they had prior to the intervention. In addition, all athletes responded that they had experienced an enhancement of their confidence and that they planned to continue their use of motor imagery in the future.
