The purpose of this study was to find the essential factors for peak performance and to establish a new system of mental training for jumping events. The author has investigated the characteristics of mental conditions during peak performance and self-evaluation of mental skills in training. The following results were obtained. 1 Mental condition during peak performance 1) Characteristics of mental conditions : Subjects tended to remember "being full of self confidence" and "in the good condition" during peak performance. 2) Characteristics of recognized physical condition : Subjects tended to remember being "in good condition" and "feeling positive" during peak performance. 3) Visual imagery of the competition : Subjects tended to remember "ideal motions" and "key technical points" during peak performance. Remembering "success scenes, " "cheering sounds, " and "cue words" were efficient methods for attaining optimal mental condition during competition. 2 Self evaluation of mental skill to peak performance : On each item and each phase of mental training, the best group, i.e., the group which achieved peak performance, scored higher than the non-best group. Key mental skills for peak performance are remembering clearly and controlling the optimal mental condition and ideal motions.
