Sports Enhancement:
Playing at
Peak Performance
Meditation, hypnosis, self-hypnosis, guided imagery all have long been used by serious athletes. To be at peak performance coaches commonly admonished players to “get into the zone” or to “put on their game face.” Stories are told about great athletes like Tiger Woods and Olympic Gold Medallist Mary Lou Retton relying on hypnosis and self-hypnosis to be at their best. It is said that to train the body to the limits of its capabilities without simultaneously training the mind is to invite, at best, mediocrity. Sports psychologists have claimed that for Olympic teams 80% of the athlete’s performance is in the mind. Championship players in virtually every form of competition have echoed this belief.
Mental rehearsal with hypnosis, imagery or any of the equivalent techniques can create and reaffirm the confidence necessary to achieve top performance. The autonomic nervous system performs in exactly the same manner it does during a physical rehearsal. Neuromuscular coordination improves. What your mind can conceive you can achieve. If you can think it, see it and feel it at this level in your mind, you can do it!
What can be accomplished through the powers of the mind?
Perhaps most important is the development of positive attitudes.
Negative thoughts pertaining to performance skills can be changed or
eliminated and the enjoyment of the sport will be enhanced to a major degree
especially as your skills improve. Know that great feeling of being at the top
of your game. Hypnosis and self-hypnosis are powerful techniques that can
concentrate, direct and enhance the effectiveness your mental rehearsals in
addition to improving your
motivation and methods.
