Every athlete's path includes visualization as a tool for improving performance and developing plans to achieve their goals. Visualization assists individuals in visualizing how they wish to perform in their chosen sporting event. Every athlete believes and understands that visualization is what they require to achieve their goals. In this review paper, researchers examine both quantitative and qualitative research methods to describe the power of visualization; why it is important for every athlete; visualization methods used by athletes; the effects of visualization on athletic performance; and visualization techniques in sports. A literature review was conducted on several published peer-reviewed journal articles, but only articles from 2015–2022 and those written in the English language were considered for inclusion in this study. Researchers made use of search engine like Google Scholar, Microsoft Academic, ProQuest, PLoS One, Cochrane Library, and Microsoft Academic databases for information. Several articles were related to the subject, but only a few text articles were used for this review. In conclusion, the reviewed articles demonstrated that what coaches, trainers, physical educators, and sports teachers need to do is provide more assistance to help our athletes build more effectiveness in visualization to improve their sporting performance, which will serve as a fantastic tool that they may utilize to establish the mentality needed to attain long-term and short-term goals and teach younger athletes visualization, it's important to do it in a way that's easily accessible and fun for them.
