Hypnosis makes the impossible possible, the possible easy, and the easy elegant and natural. Be comfortable in your life and proud of yourself Empowering Solutions Enhancing and improving your performance in any activity requires you to develop skills and ways of thinking that may be new to you. The process itself is simple, and while it might take some effort, it is always worth it. At whatever level; beginner, enthusiast, club champion or professional all players can benefit and improve through hypnosis, to maximise talent and optimise performance. Having worked with a number of athletes over many years, I know how important the mental game is in sports. It can be the difference between being merely good, and outstanding. Hypnosis has been used by top level sport performers for many years – the first documented case was at the Melbourne Olympics 1956, when the Russian team employed 11 hypnotists. Mike Brearley the England cricket captain used hypnosis for improving batting confidence, and there are many examples in the sporting arena, of hypnotherapists working alongside athletes and sports coaches to improve performance. It is about being able to deal with the mental pressures, if the mind is not right, then the body will not perform. People talk about the ’zone’ – and this is a mental state that can be achieved with proper guidance and practice. A person’s ability to focus, be motivated and have the right level of arousal in order to perform is often overlooked. Hours spent with great coaches refining the minutiae of your technical sporting excellence will be wasted if when you start your performance you are wracked with nerves and anxiety. Spending time on this area of your game may be the key to greater advancement and progression. Imagine hitting just the right shot, finessing the second serve, covering the last mile effortlessly or pushing that next level of weight in the gym - you can do it, and your worth it.
