Two runners stand side by side at the starting line of a race. Both look very strong and fast. 21  one runner speeds ahead and wins the race. The other falls behind.

Some athletes can reach great  22  such as the achievement of an Olympic gold medal. Others never live up to their  23 . What kind of  24  before a race or another event makes the 25 ?

Everyone knows that athletes work out to strengthen their  26 . But research shows that strengthening the mind may be just as  27 . Careful study indicates that the best athletes win  28  because they think they can win.

Thinking positive thoughts seems to give possibility for  29  in sports. People who say “I know I can do this” to themselves over and over often find they have the  30  to win. On the other hand, people who think “I can’t win” often31 ,

One procedure that helps many athletes is creating  32  in the mind. They are told to think of each  33  they must make to win. Some use pictures that are more fanciful (富于幻想的). One skater liked to 34  a star bursting inside her,35  her with energy. Another athlete who wanted to feel 36  pictured himself as a  37  floating in the air.

Next time you want to do something well, try training your  38  to help you. Perhaps a teacher or another instructor can help you plan your training. If you imagine yourself doing better, you may soon see  39  in what you  40  can do. Positive thinking and pictures created in your mind can help you win!
