Hypnosis for Sports Performance

Whatever sport you participate in, from football to marathon running to golf, if you want to raise your game, hypnotherapy can help. Through mental imagery and the rehearsal of successful outcomes, you'll harness your inner potential and in so doing overcome mental blocks, clarify your goals, increase your motivation and focus on being the best you can be.

Having completed 15 half marathons and 12 full marathons I have a special interest in enhancing running performance and understand first-hand just what it takes to get across that finish line, whether you're aiming for a PB or just to finish (in one piece!). As a former couch potato and the author of Running Made Easy, Britain's best-selling running book, I am an expert on staying motivated - and putting the fun back into every run.

THE EVIDENCE?
In two different studies published in the Journal Of Applied Sport Psychology, hypnosis was shown to improve golfing and basketball performance. The golfers improved their average putting performance, confidence and focus, while the basketball players' set- and jump-shooting performance improved.
