What it can help
 

Sports Achievement

Hypnosis is not new in Sports Achievement the Russian Olympic teams, in the 1956 Melbourne Olympics, took no less than 11 hypnotists to develop mental clarity and help the athletes with visualisation. Most Champions use some form of hypnosis whether it’s visualisation or affirmation and many seek the help of a professional hypnotist or sports psychologist to assist in their mental training.

In modern day, sports hypnosis is a rapidly expanding area of interest throughout the entire world. It is the mind that determines the way we perform and behave, therefore it is in mastering the mind that the athlete has the greatest chance of performing at their best and hypnosis can play a major role in helping the athlete prepare themselves mentally.

This is particularly apparent in Equine sports, such as dressage, show jumping and eventing, where the horse will sense if the rider lacks confidence or is suffering from nerves.

This type of preparation will typically include a whole package of approaches tailored to the athletes requirements and will nearly always include methods such as:
• visualisation
• mental rehearsal
• increased confidence
• increased self belief
• increased motivation
• increased concentration
• increased focus
• reduce nerves

The mind is extraordinarily powerful and it can help your body to achieve amazing things.
