What Is Sports Enhancement Hypnotherapy?
Being a successful sports athlete involves maintaining high levels of physical fitness. However, this is only part of the strategy needed for success. With two people of matching physical expertise and talent, the difference between the gold medal and silver medal will ultimately be decided by their mental attitudes.
Hypnotherapy is now widely recognised as a vital key boost to athletic performance and helps bring about that vital edge to become a winner.
The Value of Sports Hypnotherapy
Sports Hypnotherapy improves and enhances an individual’s mental attitude by helping them to relax – removing anxieties and boosting confidence.
Hypnosis can be very helpful in improving focus and concentration, and that’s why Sports Hypnotherapy is being utilised in all sports across the globe in the search for that edge over the competition.
The Three C's of Enhanced Sports Performance
CAPABILITY – Any repetitive skill can be greatly enhanced by visualization and mental rehearsal. The most important aspect is to have a clear picture of what you want to accomplish and then rehearsing this for 10 minutes at a time.
Also, just before dropping off to sleep is an excellent time to do your final daily “visualization practice.” When a task is new, run your simulations slowly so you can focus on the details. If you’re an expert, quicker is better.CONCENTRATION – The experience of being in the zone is something that is required by every successful athlete. In the heat of competition, it is required that an athlete block out everything and stay completely focused on the physical execution of the sport.
This is truly the gift of hypnotherapy which opens the doorway through the subconscious mind to effectively master the practice of mental rehearsal. It is essential to block out the conscious mind’s thoughts, distractions and fears and drop deeper into our senses.CONFIDENCE – Confidence is one of the biggest stumbling blocks for many athletes. The athlete may be excellent at the physical execution of their sport, but if they lack confidence, those negative self-beliefs can totally undermine their physical ability.
Through Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy we can quickly discover what their negative self-talk is and go back to the source of this and change it. An example may be a person who keeps sabotaging their own success, even though they are physically talented in their sport.
