Sports Performance and Hypnosis

There is a timeless saying “what the mind believes the body achieves.” Using hypnosis or self hypnosis engages this process for we first see and do in our mind whatever it is we desire to achieve, which begins to create the deep belief it is possible and then we have an increased chance of actually achieving what we first created mentally. Using the subconscious mind to engage in the imagery and created visualization of what we desire has been written about in cultures around the world since there has been documentation. It’s not new and athletes use it routinely. Golf legend Jack Nicklaus once said, “Golf is a game of inches. The most important seven are between your ears.”

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.
