A teacher determines that a student better relates to internal motor imagery. Which technique would be most successful for this student?

The most successful technique for a student who relates to internal motor imagery involves describing the swing from the player's perspective. This approach facilitates a more personal and intuitive understanding of the movements involved. When the instructor articulates how the swing feels from the player's viewpoint, it encourages the student to visualize their own experience and embodies the sensations associated with each part of the motion. This method enhances the student's ability to mentally rehearse and internalize the movements before executing them physically. By focusing on the internal sensations—such as balance, weight transfer, and rhythm—the student can create a more vivid mental representation, ultimately improving their ability to perform the swing in practice.

Other techniques like showing a video or describing a swing from an external perspective may not resonate as effectively with a student who thrives on internal visualizations, since they may create a disconnect from the personal experience of executing the movement themselves.
