The article discusses the importance of cognitive processes in human development and their role in sports performance. Rational-Emotive and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (RE & CBT) teaches clients how to refute cognitive distortions. A literature review shows that sports performance is influenced by physical, mental, technical, tactical, psychological, and social attributes. The Attention Control Scale (ATTC) measures two major components of attention (attention focusing and attention shifting). Prioritizing meaningful activities and healthy foods can help lead a more balanced lifestyle for better mental health. The M.I.Q. questionnaire assesses sensory experiences of individuals and can be used on school students and adults. A study investigated the effects of mental imagery on skill development in sport and identified potential moderating factors. A systematic review investigated moderator variables such as intervention length, skill type, delivery format, and skill level that may influence imagery-performance link. The book offers a novel tool to assess children's and elderly people's mental imagery skills using a psychometric process.
