Sports Performance

Sports Performance

Whether or not a person is gifted with natural ability or not, a person cannot get to the top of their profession without a strong mindset. The difference between first and second place is the mindset of the person. The person who cracks under the strain can lose because the their mental preparation was not conducive with winning. Instead of planning to win or succeed people often allow themselves to be influenced by the negative “chatter” of their conscious mind.

These thoughts however innocent in appearance are detrimental and have a corrosive effect on the spirit causing certain failure in the sporting endeavour. A strong “No Doubt” mindset as is outlined in The Principles of Life book is needed if you are looking to excel in your sports performance. It’s not enough to hope or leave it to the “lap of the Gods” you must mentally prepare if you are seriously wanting to compete at the top level. Thinking you can miss out this important step is naive. If you think you can please call round to my house I have some fairy dust to sell you!

In order to compete at the top level you cannot have your conscious mind running the show. Your conscious mind will find fault in yourself and affect your sports performance as the over analysis goes into overdrive. When it does self-doubt creeps in and starts to eat away at your self-confidence. An athlete must have total self-confidence to succeed. You must dismiss all negative thoughts if success is your aim. You cannot afford to let them into your mindset. How you can learn to do this is explained explicitly and easily in chapter 2 of my book The Principles of Life.

Your conscious mind by nature is a fault-finding mind where as your subconscious holds your wisdom. A person must make the switch to becoming a subconscious thinker if they want to be a winner. Do you think that a top golfer is a conscious mind thinker or do you think he uses his subconscious wisdom? Do you think that before he goes out to play he thinks of all the worst-case scenarios and runs them around in his mind before a tournament? Of course not, he knows that if he wants to win he has to think he can win so he dismisses any negative chatter of the conscious mind and lets his wisdom take over. A top sports person is the boss of his/ her own thoughts.

Solution

How many times do you here people say “I knew today would be an off day” and then it is? When you say something like that what it really means is that you planned it that way. Never go into any venture thinking the worst because that thought will create the failure. You must train your mind just as the other top athletes have trained theirs if you are serious about competing in your chosen field and improving your sports performance.

Why do most athletes have “mind coaches” these days? It is because the difference between first and second place is getting so tight that the smallest edge can make the difference. Detailed advice on improving your sports performance and dismissing negative self-talk is included in the powerhouse book of the millennium The Principles of Life. Inside the book it details how you can with each chapter improve and strengthen your mindset so that you control your thoughts. In order to be your best you must learn to block the negative chatter of the conscious mind and program your mind for success with powerful mental rehearsal technology. Exercises for mental rehearsal future programming and Thought Re-training are throughout the book. It really is the best solution for you if seeing me personally is not possible.

If you can see me personally I am available for one to one mind coaching sessions which include hypnosis. All hypnosis will be recorded onto a CD for your own home use.

I won’t say good luck because luck has nothing to do with it. I will say instead though that I wish you the very best with whatever you decide and if you decide to see me I’ll look forward to getting the best out of you!
