The science and understanding of sports hypnotherapy is intrinsically linked to the mind-body connection and the power of the unconscious mind. Research has shown that the subconscious mind, accounting for around 98% of our brain activity, drives our habits, impulses, and behaviours. By communicating directly with the unconscious, sports hypnosis can help to retrain our minds around ineffective or harmful thought patterns, replacing them with positive, performance-enhancing beliefs. Hypnosis has been scientifically proven to be effective in sports performance enhancement. In a study published in the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis, basketball players who participated in a six-week hypnosis training programme demonstrated significant improvements in free-throw shooting performance compared to a control group. Another research paper published in the American Journal of Clinical Hypnotherapy sited that hypnosis could help hone concentration and improve cyclists' overall performance. Understanding the science behind sports hypnotherapy, it becomes clear that the power to achieve peak performance lies within us. It is simply a matter of tapping into the latent abundant resources of our unconscious mind.

Help with Hypnotherapy for Sports Performance
Hypnotherapy and some of the other modalities I employ can bring about fantastic changes. The primary objective of Hypnotherapy is to bring the physical body and the subconscious mind into balance, which is why it’s so well-fitted to enhance Sports Performance. Sportsmen and women often refer to being ‘in the flow state’ or in ‘the zone’ during this phase. They are, in fact, in a hypnotic trance. Their attention is fixed and focused, and the unconscious mind goes into autopilot to get them into the place of optimal performance. So, it's of no surprise that hypnotherapy provides sportsmen and women with a wonderful tool that can dramatically improve overall performance.
Hypnotherapy in conjunction with NLP can help in many ways. Many well-known athletes have worked with hypnotherapists to achieve significant gains in their performance, regardless of their discipline. Hypnotherapy helps athletes perfect their skills, fine-tune their technique, improve their self-confidence, and overcome self-doubt or performance anxiety. Tiger Woods is a fine example of a top sportsman who has used Hypnotherapy to get an incredible degree of success. Apparently, he has been using self-hypnosis techniques and mental imagery for many years now. Another way in which hypnosis can be utilised in competitive sport is in dealing with pain and injuries. Learning to relax around any pain, taking the tension away from this area from pain can help you cope better with it, and perform in spite of it.
