    JOHN HARVARD'S JOURNAL documentary by former player Melis- sa Johnson ’00, “act as if” involves con- vincing oneself that challenges are sur- mountable and goals are attainable. As Delaney-Smith explained in the film, she encourages players to act as if they are not tired and to act as if they are great shooters. “The body,” Johnson wrote in a New York Times essay accom- panying the film, “follows where the mind leads.” “Act as if” embodies Delaney-Smith’s belief that performance is at least 80 percent mental. She has long drawn on motivational techniques from academic disciplines like psychology and leader- ship. As Maura Healey ’92 and Trisha Brown ’87 recalled, their coach em- ployed visualization, mindfulness, and sports psychology in the 1980s, decades before they were in vogue.
