How can I use my mind to help my sports performance?

Visualization

An important skill for any athlete is visualization. You can improve your technique and performance by visualizing your golf swing, tennis stroke, competitive dive, etc., the way it should be. Many runners and swimmers do mental drills--they visualize the whole race the way they plan to do it. Visualization may also help speed recovery from injury, as you visualize the tissues healing faster.
