Imagery On The Rock Wall

I use imagery to improve my performance on the rock wall. I think about my most successful climbs and try to emulate them. I imagine myself doing everything technically sound. I picture myself focusing on nothing but the rock wall. I use both internal perspective and external perspective when using imagery. By using both perspectives I feel that I get a better overall sense of how I am performing. I imagine the feel of the handholds against my palms. I see myself finding the perfect holds. I hear the noises of my classmates and the chalky smell that clings to my hands as I ascend the wall. Lastly, I see myself climbing with complete confidence in myself.

My junior year I was the kick returner for the varsity team. In our second
We use it to remember certain strategies that helped us on previous climbs. The CNS also is responsible for the anxiety, fear, and adrenaline I feel while climbing. The CNS would help me remember the senses and feelings that go along with climbing when I am using imagery. Another system that is used on the rock wall is the Peripheral nervous system or (PNS). The PNS has two different divisions the sensory division and the motor division. The sensory division conducts impulses from the receptors in the skin to the CNS. The motor division conducts impulses directly from the CNS to muscles and glands. Efferent is the pathway used by motor division. The motor division of the PNS has two different divisions the Somatic nervous system and the Autonomic nervous system. The somatic nervous system accounts for all the voluntary movements I make on the rock wall with my muscles. The somatic nervous system conducts impulses from the CNS to skeletal muscles. The PNS accounts for muscle memory as well, which helps me to improve with each climb. The Autonomic is made up of two divisions the sympathetic and the parasympathetic. The sympathetic division accounts for my heart beating while climbing the rock wall. The parasympathetic region helps to conserve energy while on the rock wall. The PNS has efferent signals delivering impulses from the brain and spinal cord. While on the wall the division of the PNS called the parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for keeping my heart beating. In my experience I feel like the CNS has the most effect on me. Although the PNS keeps my heart beating and is definitely important I find that I focus the most on fear and anxiety on the rock wall which is caused by the
