Optimizing the technical training is a primordial (essential) requirement within the entire training process in Rhythmic Gymnastics. For this reason, the purpose of this study was to improve the execution technique, to teach or correct the technical elements and to obtain high results in competitions.

We have approached this theme in order to pinpoint certain mental training techniques and their application in the training process on a sample of 10 female gymnasts of the third and the second category. After interpreting the results obtained at the competitions of 2012 and 2013, we have found an increase in the scores for both execution scores and final scores. Hence, the female gymnasts scored the following values: t = -2.771 (hoop), t = -4.483 (ball), t = -2.182 (clubs) and t = -6.805 (ribbon), all with p < 0.05 threshold. The final scores obtained had the following values: t = -5.473 (hoop), t = -3.851 (ball), t = -3.184 (clubs) and t = -4.880 (ribbon), all with p < 0.05 threshold. In conclusion, we underline the idea that the role of mental training techniques is that of channelling the athlete’s attitude towards the self, thus increasing self-awareness, which leads to analyzing the personal performance. Mental training is a process of acquiring a positive attitude towards the achievements set in mind.
