Visualization is a mental act representing a visual information. In solving geometry problem, we need visualization to identify and illustrate the information. This study aimed to analyse student visualization in solving the reflection problems. We studied a female high school athlete at grade eleven. There were three steps in this study. First, we designed two reflection problems. Next, we assessed and interviewed her by semi structure interviewed. Finally, we analysed student spatial visual comparing to types of visualization by Presmeg. Lot of athletes do not have time enough in learning about some topic in their class, so we have to find an appropriate approach to led her in learning activity for creating an efective learning. We found that she has two types of visualization that are pattern imagery and kinaesthetic imagery. In the future, we can design instructional tasks that are convenient for this visualizer.
