Sports Performance

Sports people tend to concentrate their minds on physical aspects of their sport without thinking about the psychological ones.  While the physical body is very important and needs to be in peak condition, the psychological aspects are as important, if not more important than the physical ones. 
 
Hypnosis has been used for 100s of years in sports.  In the 1956 Melbourne Olympics, the Russian team took 11 hypnotists with them to work on visualisation and to develope the mind.
 
Hypnotists are being used more and more in high level sport.  Such sports include: F1 racing drivers, Premiership footballers, snooker players and tennis champions.

  • And most important of all-visualisation

Visualisation is crucial to success.  To our minds imagination and reality are the same. So that when we visualise the desired outcome in hypnosis our subconscious mind believes that we have already achived what we want. Therefore, when it comes to the real situation our mind believes we have already achived the succes that we desire and we will go on to achieve success again and again.

While the above list covers the majority of issues for sports people.  However, we are all have our own characteristics and can have other issues or negative mental thought processes which can all be reframed for a positive outcome.
