You wouldn’t leave for a hiking expedition without a map (or at least a smartphone with GPS). Why embark on a career without one?

Golfers try to visualize the ball on a perfect flight—landing exactly where intended—before they even attempt to hit the shot. Olympic ice skaters see themselves landing the triple axel before they’ve even laced up. If we can see it, we can often do it.
