Drawing on the advantages of imagery teaching
methods, this study applies them to football tactics instruction, implementing
appropriate reforms in conventional football teaching. A year-long experiment
was conducted to compare students’ basic technical skills, physical fitness,
and the rational application of techniques. The results showed significant
differences in the rational application of techniques, indicating that this
teaching method helps students form an initial mental representation of technical
movements, enhances teaching quality, and has a significant effect on
cultivating students’ imagination and creativity.
