There was a basketball team - I think it was Russian - that was psychologically experimented upon. The team spent half of their time imagining playing, instead of actual practice, and their play improved equally to those who practiced the entire time.
Had to be less wear and tear on their bodies, too.

I have this memory of a basketball team - I think it was Russian - that was psychologically experimented upon and they found that if the players spent half of their time imagining playing, rather than in actual practice, their play equally improved to those who practiced the entire time.

I pulled that "video game" move of Brandon Stokeley's in a HS game in 1979 - because I'd seen an Auburn player do it and a NY Giants player do it.
