Chris must sit out the next two weeks of basketball games because of a problem with her hamstring muscle. Her eight grade coach tells her to use this off time imagining herself out on the court. He wants Chris to feel her body running down the court, to see herself reaching for the ball and shooting a basket. It is most likely that Chris's coach is:
A. trying to keep her spirits up during the time she won't be able to play.
B. trying to change her perspective and see the game through his eyes.
C. keeping her involved in the game, so she'll stop brooding over her injury.
D. encouraging her to rehearse in this way, so her performance will improve when she's ready to play again.
