Every athlete, in every sport gets nervous before a game or has a game day superstition. Some of the questions running through their minds are, what if we lose, what if I mess up, or worse injury! These thoughts become so powerful and can take over a players mind. No one wants to say they had a bad game. Everyone wants to be at their physical and mental best while performing, however sometimes this is 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. Focus, an athlete needs to be in the zone. 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. Maybe there is 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. As you can see, many things can cause you to lose the zone. Identifying what makes you lose focus, and learning new tricks to keep you in the zone. You can become unstoppable, not lucky, but focused. Bump, set, spike, side out. Volleyball is a game of skill and to some extent luck, but with improved skill you can create your own luck. By learning visual and mental cues, 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 on the court during the game. The ultimate athlete loves himself, his team and the game. This love builds a better, stronger, more valuable 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, your team and the sport a disservice. If you were always told how bad you are at something or how if you teammate would have just passed you the ball you could have won, you are allowing these experiences to take over the game. You are no longer the best you can be. Once you learn how to deal with these feelings and memories, you will become an amazing athlete. Hypnosis is one way of achieving all of these things. Sure if you want to improve your skill level you can work out at the gym hours on end and sure you can try to focus on something else, but hear me out first. Hypnosis helps you to identify what your skills are and how to use them, instead of getting nervous you will be confident in your abilities. You will learn to focus on the game and not all the other distractions that can hinder your focus. While under hypnosis your mind is more relaxed and open to suggestions, you will not longer have the feeling you are sabotaging yourself. 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.
