Sheepdog Tip of the Day, Before Combat tip 268
A special type of mental preparation involves picturing yourself already there, already doing the real thing. For this specific preparation, there are two techniques: visualization and mental rehearsal. Visualization is a detailed picture of a specific thing (for example, a perfect sight picture), and mental rehearsal is you going through the event or a key portion of the event (for example, setting up your shooting position and firing a perfect shot).
