The use of Sports Hypnosis has enormous benefits; it is possible for a sportsman or sportswomen, with the help of hypnosis, to reach the top of their game. Many top sportspeople have found that their performance can deteriorate. This may be due to the pressures they experience from many areas (media, people’s expectations, and their own beliefs) and the development of doubt and negative self talk. Hypnosis is a powerful tool to remove any negative beliefs or phobias and replace them with positive suggestions. For a sportsman or sportswoman to stay at the top they have to continue their physical training and have regular positive affirmations and suggestions with hypnosis as part of their mental training programme. These would be in the form of sessions with the hypnotist and the use of self hypnosis. Hypnosis is now being used more and more in sport, as the benefits are discovered and finding that important edge has become critical. Hypnosis is becoming one of the most important ways of enhancing sports performance.

All sportsmen and sportswomen can improve with hypnosis. In any sport there is time to think either before, during or after a match; this is the time when most negative thoughts will manifest themselves and eventually become beliefs. Hypnosis can remove negative beliefs from the unconscious and replace them with positive suggestions that can be recalled during the player’s performance. Its when a player has time to think that things can go one of two ways; either fantastically well or dramatically badly. We have all seen many sporting occasions when under pressure things go horribly wrong. By using hypnotherapy and practising self hypnosis those moments can be turned into memorable victories.
