Timothy Gallwey's ground-breaking The Inner Game of Golf introduced golfers to the mental game so too will Kenneth Van Kampen's Visual Golf become the invaluable primer to mental imagery and visualization--both expremely popular sports-training techniques. <P>Virtually all professional athletes use some sort of visualization process to prepare for competition: whether it's to practice a shot a swing or a move again and again or to see a successful attempt at a previously daunting feat.
