Learn Moreabout PBS online sponsorship- I'm in Paris today with the world-renowned athlete Kylian Mbappé to get his perspective on what it takes to visualize the outcomes we want to see unfold.
Because in this moment, we're becoming urgently aware that we have real choices to make, the outcome of which will shape so much of what comes next.
We get to decide.
And while we focus a lot on what we don't want, we often fail to take the most important step of all-- picturing what kind of futures we do want.
Seeing the goal we are aiming for.
[crowd cheering] [upbeat music] [singers vocalizing] ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ [announcer speaking French] - What's the importance of visualizing success in making anything happen?
- You know, it's a part of yourself.
Me, I was born with that.
I always have this idea of success, to be someone, and to achieve many things.
And every year, every month, every day, I have new goals, and-- not only in sport, in everything you do.
In life, you have objective.
You have goals for your family, for yourself, at work.
And I think that's the step to success.
- Walk me through the moment right before you take a penalty kick.
You're taking a shot on goal.
What are you--what are you seeing in your mind?
[crowd cheering] - If I score, what'll happen?
If I miss, what'll happen?
[crowd cheering] And that's, like, 100 questions in a second that's come in your mind.
And you have to be able to say, like, now is the present, you know?
You let the future come in your mind, but the most important thing in the penalty is to be in the moment.
And you go with the confidence that you're going to score.
There is no other option.
[crowd cheering] - I assume you don't visualize you missing the goal.
- No, never.
Never.
That can happen, but never.
If you visualize that, you miss a goal before the shot.
[laughs] You lose 50% of your confidence, and you need 100% of confidence to score a goal.
