Sports hypnosis for peak performance helps athlete’s overcome their limitations. There are lots of sports from golf to the weekend pickup basketball game that can benefit from hypnosis and people who do play a sport want to play like Michael Jordan or Wayne Gretzky. Hiring a hypnotherapist who has experience and wants to do this coaching will get any athlete to the next level in their sport.
Hypnosis is a fantastic way to get your mojo back especially if you are a young player who has been told “you must win a trophy or do great because you have to get a scholarship to go to college”. The problem with that is the parent is having the child do the work the parent did not or could not do as a young athlete. Outside influences from parents, coaches, relatives and friends can inadvertently give negative beliefs to an athlete and those beliefs can de-motivate and sometimes lead an athlete to quit the sport all together.
Parents who cajole, yell or demand something from that child is not helping the child to be the best he/she can be. An athletic child just wants to play and have fun, he’s not worried about winning a trophy to look good in other kids eyes. He is doing it or should be doing it for his own sake, feeling good about how he does, feeling confident, successful and seeing himself doing a good job helping the team out.
I use a game plan to help the young athlete with his intrinsic and extrinsic motivators. What beliefs do you hold that others have made you believe? How is that affecting your play, is it negatively or positively affecting you? Do you have negative self talk that makes you doubt yourself?
To Move to the next level an athlete must be highly motivated and helped to identify and eliminate negative self talk. I work to motivate middle school, high school, and professional athlete’s. An athlete must be committed, have great concentration, be 100% confident in his or her abilities and in control of their feelings and emotions while playing their sport.
In my game plan I help the athlete to overcome performance anxiety. Did something happen on the field or off that has affected how you feel about hitting, kicking or shooting a ball? Fears and anxieties must be addressed to stay focused and committed while at the same time having fun and excelling.
Another important idea is having the athlete stay mentally focused and honing that focus to exactly what needs to be accomplished. And don’t forget that sports at any level must stay fun or else getting to the next level will be hard if not impossible.
