About Sports Hypnosis Hypnosis can help you with yor performance

Many well-known sportspeople have used hypnosis, including boxers Frank Bruno, Steve Collins and Nigel Benn, former England cricket Captain Mike Brearley, athlete Iwan Thomas, and golfer Ian Woosnam.

It is particularly effective for building confidence, overcoming poor past performances, and visualising new or complicated techniques. Sports Hypnosis is now widely used sports to help both professional and amateur sportsmen and women in their mental training.

What is Sports Hypnosis?

It is the use of hypnosis to overcome particular psychological problems specific to sport, and improve performance in general. Hypnosis is a deep state of relaxation, a bit like day-dreaming. You are still aware of everything around you, but it doesn’t interfere with what you’re focusing on like it does in a normal wakened state. You’re in complete control all of the time, and can’t be made to do or say anything you don’t want to, and you can come out of it any time you wish. It’s a relaxing feeling and most people really enjoy the experience. Sports Hypnosis is the use of hypnosis to overcome  particular psychological problems specific to sport, and to improve performance in general. Effective sports hypnosis requires a good understanding of hypnotic principles.
