Sports Hypnosis - Sporting Performance

There has been a long history of using psychology in sport. Zen Buddhism has had a long influence on sports psychology especially within the martial arts, and increasingly hypnotherapy techniques have also had a roll to play.

Hypnotherapy for sport performance has been described under a range of terms such as mental or autogenic training. You don’t need to look too far in any sport to find great champions using hypnotic techniques to improve performance. In the 1956 Melbourne Olympics, the Russian team took over 10 hypnotheratists with them! 

Athletes use all kinds of scientific technology to improve their performance which will usually include focusing and visualisation techniques for improvement. Increasingly psychology in general and hypnotherapy in particular is being used to give teams and individuals an edge.

You don’t have to be a potential Olympic champion to use hypnosis for sporting performance. It's often said that 90% of most sporting performance is in the mind - so even the keen amateur can gain competitive advantage through hypnotherapy for sports performance. Anyone can learn simple hypnosis techniques for a range of sports related issues including -

 - Mental imagery and future rehearsal of success (including effective techniques from areas like NLP)

 - Focusing on a Success Strategy - get into the 'Success Zone' when you need to

 - Overcoming mental blocks & barriers

 - Reinforcing self-belief, motivation & positive thinking

The great champions and winning athletes also tend to be the ones who have learned to think successfully, they have mastered the psychology of their individual sport. Sporting hypnotherapy is another weapon in their winning strategy that can make that small difference between winning and losing.

Hypnosis can be applied to all kinds of individual and competitive sports including golf, tennis, football and all athletic sports. As a competitive horse rider, Rona is also keen to work with other riders wanting to improve horseriding performance.

Rona can offer either individual or team based sports hypnotherapy sessions to suit a range of needs. As the hypnosis tends to be fairly general in nature for each sport, results can be fairly instant. With a free MP3 download of your hypnptherapy session included in each session with Rona, it is likely that very positive long lasting results will be seen after just one session, which costs £65 for an individual session of up to two hours.
