Sports Performance and Hypnosis
Sep 30th, 2008
Any athlete in any sport, whether on a team or playing alone has any better tool in their arsenal to improve athletic performance than hypnosis. The team that is best on paper based on statistics and odds isn’t necessarily the winner, which is why the game is played. It’s the team or player with the mental edge that can rise above to the winner’s circle. Just ask the champions and superstars of their sport.
Here are just a few athletes who used self hypnosis for sports performance:
Angela Bailey, the current Canadian Record Holder in the 100 meters. She holds the record in a time of 10.98 seconds.
Tiger Woods has acknowledged the fact that he turns to hypnotherapy to calm his mind and improve his focus before every game he plays. In fact he is said to have been practicing it ever since he was 13.
Kevin McBride a heavyweight boxer who beat Mike Tyson for the championship. “A lot of athletes use only 2% to 8% of their ability at any given time,” said McBride. “What hypnosis does is send out signals to the subconscious mind that makes you leave nothing behind.”
Michael Jordan used hypnosis. It was a regular part of The Chicago Bull’s preparation, because of Phil Jackson, the head coach, who believed strongly in mental stamina.
