Reduce EMG (50–60 Hz)
It was found that the right neocortex promotes negative emotions such as fear, anger, and aggression, while the left neocortex largely neutralizes these “primitive” emotions.
The Prefrontal Cortex brain area, when sufficiently activated, acts as the emotional manager of a person.

Hockey: Get the athlete to perform the night before. If working with golley, want to make sure they are sticking to routine and imagine making key moves
Swimming: Imagine the beginning the middle and the end.

More complex:
For swimming, waht does your start look like
What does your middle area look like
What do your flip turns look like
