When Roger Bannister broke the 4-minute mile within a year 37 more runners completed this feat also. 300 more the year after and nowadays it happens all the time!
When an Australian basketball team wanted to improve more they divided their team into 3 groups
1. Practiced taking foul shots 30 minutes every day and noticed a 24 percent improvement
2. Did nothing and improved by zero, zilch, nada.
3. Practiced mentally via visualisation only. They improved by a 23 percent margin!
In 1976 the Russians trained their olympic team in the following ways
1. 100% physical training, 0% mental training
2. 75% physical training, 25% mental training
3. 50% physical training, 50% mental training
4. 25% physical training, 75% mental training
Group 4 SHOWED the most improvement!
