Mental Training & Sports Hypnosis

The role of mental performance in sports

Sports are a great thing. You will hardly find other areas in life that provide such an emotional rollercoaster and put your performance and preparation under the microscope simultaneously. Pride, joy, and euphoria can turn into disappointment, dreadfulness, and fear in an instant. A second can become an eternity, an inch might as well be a mile. The difference between winning and losing is often predicated by the smallest of margins.

Most athletes and coaches recognize the importance of the mental component when it comes to athletic performance, yet few spend any time training it. If they get into a state of "flow", it's by chance and if they experience a downward spiral, they're helpless.

Your mental performance in sports is just as important as your physical one. Confidence, focus, motivation, body language, and behavior are just as important as technique, talent, or tactics. Being able to control our thoughts and emotions can make the difference between winning and losing and we have to train our subconsciousness in order to respond in a desired way when certain triggers occur. Because our conscious mind has no impact on our emotions, improvement can only be gained on a subconscious level, which can in turn be accessed through hypnosis.

I've worked with athletes from various disciplines, from Track and Field, to Cycling, Fencing, Soccer, Tennis, Golf, Hockey, Schwingen, and many more. Sports Hypnosis has helped again and again.
