The results of the research showed that imagery along with physical practice leads to spike improvement and self-efficiency but if imagery is associated with positive self-talk, effectiveness rate of imagery will be increased.
In a research on 5 men with the average age of 24, Thelwell and Greenlees (2001) concluded that practicing intellectual skills has been effective in promoting implementation of triad sports of all participants and has resulted in success and feeling of satisfaction.
positive self-talk and physical practice showed higher self-efficiency in comparison The result show that the main effect of within the group for spike performance was significant (F = 32.
That is, the secondthat the "First experimental group" hadn’t experimental group that had used mentalsignificant difference with "Second experimental group" (Mean difference = - imagery associated with positive self-talk and physical practice obtained higher scores in spike performance in relation to control group which had not had the benefit of any of these practices (Figure 2).
CONCLUSION In general, the results of the present research showed that combination of physical practice with mental imagery, when associated with positive self-talk, has a more effective role in improving athletes’ self- efficiency and implementation level, and positive self-talk improves imagery impact on self-efficiency and performance of girl volleyball players."
