We begin with the hypothesis that the uses of routines and techniques of imagined practices (visualization) during the action of serving would improve the effectively of it. Some data of the serving effectively was collected in five different games during the official competition (baseline phase). After that, a phase of intervention (training) was carried away and then, data of the serving effectively was collected again in other five games (results phase).
