Problem statement: This study is part of a larger work, in which we want to examine the possible increase of athletic performance by applying mental training techniques, particularly by neuro-linguistic programming.

Purpose of study: In neurolinguistic programming we have studied the relationships between sensory sub modalities by applying the following tests: Richard Bandler and Thomson Garner (2012) and Jacobson (2011).

Methods: We had two testing: Test1 and Test 2. Statistical indicators were calculated, elements of descriptive statistics, the data are presented using indicators of centrality, location and distribution.

Statistical analysis: Wilcoxon nonparametric test was used for sample pairs (data uneven distribution / ranking. Significance threshold taken in account was α = 0.05 (5%), α = 0.01 (1%) or α = 0.001.

Findings and Results: To detect the correlation between two variables we used the Spearman rank correlation coefficient (ρ). Correlation coefficients analysis was performed using Colton 's rule. We have found no statistically significant differences were observed (p > 0.05) in ​​Bandler &  Garner and Jacobson,  the test sample pairs (T1-T2), but there are very many and very good correlations in both studied tests between the values ​​of the items.

Conclusions and Recommendations: we want to continue with this study because the time difference between the two testing was short and we want to extend this study to a minimum of 3 months. All sensory submodalities are particularly important in achieving ideomotor representations underlying the importance of mental training.

Key words: ideomotor representation, neurolinguistic sensations, training, sensorial submodalities.
