摘要：AbstractThe present study examines the specificity of young athletes’ imagery use, the nature of the connections between the use of types of mental imagery by athletes and the level of their creativity, and effectiveness of implementation of imagery training in soccer training sessions. The participants were 41 male young soccer players. The data shows that subjects with a higher level of imagination are more inclined to use mental imagery in their practice. Age differences in types of imagery usage are shown. The results indicated that mental-imagery training can result in enhanced performance among young soccer players.
