Sports Performance and Hypnosis
Sep 24th, 2008
When it comes to all the myths and misconceptions about hypnosis there is one group of people who have used the power of hypnosis for sports improvement… athletes. Athletes use what has been referred to as guided imagery or visualization techniques. This is exactly the process of self hypnosis.
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.
