Having just recently moved to Forster/Tuncurry, near Newcastle, I spend a few weekends at the local Tennis clubs. My friend's granddaughter plays in the local competitions and that where I meet some of the parents.
I discovered that most of them would like to help their teenagers to play good tennis. I strongly believe that you can improve in any sport with the help of visualisation and hypnotherapy.
There has been a long history of hypnosis in sport, often used under different names such as mental or autogenic training. According to Les Cunningham in his well known book "Hypnosport", during the 1978/79 tour of Australia, England cricket captain Mike Brearley consulted a medical hypnotherapist. In the 1956 Melbourne Olympics, the Russian team took no less than 11 hypnotists. You don’t need to look too far in any sport to find great champions using hypnotic techniques to improve performance. The reason most of them don’t like to talk about it is because of the age-old myth that hypnosis is a magical power to make you do things. Athletes use all kinds of scientific technology to improve their performance including equipment, training advances, nutrition and even applied sports psychology which will usually include focusing and visualisation techniques for improvement.
If you have any experience with hypnotherapy for Sport Enhancement share it with us and post your comments.
Thank you and until next time.
