Sports Improvement-no More Freak Outs

Sports Improvement-no More Freak Outs

By:


What if I mess up, what if I drop the ball, what if I look like a moron, what if we lose, or worse yet, injured! These are questions that run through the minds of athletes at all levels form pee-wee to Pro's. These thoughts can become so powerful and take over a players mind creating self sabotage. Everyone wants to be at their physical and mental best while playing their sport, but this can be difficult to achieve without help.

Everyone wants to be in peak condition, no one wants to think about their flaws. A basketball player might think they are not fast enough or they are too short. Sure you might be short that can't be fixed, but if you know how the game is played, it can help you. Not every basketball player is seven foot. If you are not fast enough, this can be fixed through both physical and mental workouts. First you need to figure out mentally why you can not run fast, maybe it was a forgotten memory from long ago or simply a learned behavior. Maybe your coach in pee-wee was always telling you that you were too slow and it was embarrassing. Now as a grownup, you still hear this coach in your head you are too slow. This is a learned behavior and over coming this belief can be difficult alone.

Most sports are not games of luck. A baseball player doesn't hit 5 homeruns in a row because he was lucky, he is focused. If you are not in that zone, it is hard to perform at your best. Often there are outside pressures that influence an athlete's performance such as pressure from coaches, fans or parents, a loud negative person in the stands, or maybe you simply psyched yourself out before the game even started by worrying you would have a bad game. Identifying what makes you lose focus, and learning new tricks to keep you in the zone. You can become not lucky, but focused.

A sport such as swimming ultimately is all about skill. It is not about who got a good call, but who is simply better, which it true of many other sports. If you can learn to improve your skill level mentally, the physical improvements will fall into place allowing you to create your own luck. By learning different cues mentally, you can teach your body how to be on point and improve your skill level. When your mind has powerful successes they become easier to recreate during the game.

To play any sport you need to have self confidence and team spirit, both help to build a stronger team and a better athlete. If you are constantly worrying about how you did in the game or how bad your team mate is then you are doing yourself a disservice. Some people lack confidence and team spirit because of memories or again, learned behaviors. If you are always told you are no good you will be no good. If you are always told your team mate did something wrong, you learn to never trust other teammates. Once you learn how to deal with these feelings and memories, you will be a stronger athlete and more valuable.

Sure you can work out at the gym for hours on end to improve your skills, or you can try to focus on something else during the game, but you have not really dealt with the issue. Hypnosis is one way of achieving all of these things and more. It will identify what skills you have hidden deep down and how to develop the new and old skills with a new positive energy, which replaces the negative. You will learn how to focus your energy on the game instead of an obnoxious fan or coach. All of these things are distractions and they can hinder your progress as an athlete. While under hypnosis your mind is more relaxed and open to suggestions, you will not longer have the feeling you are sabotaging yourself you will be an unstoppable athlete.

Sports, simply always be a fun, happy experience.You should not have to experience a worthless, anxious, or distracted feeling before you begin a game. Sure you can try other things but there is no reason to try those things when there is one good treatment for it. You know what works for you and your lifestyle, make your choice, just do it.
