Sports Hypnosis Used with Teams

Imagine your team are playing in the All Ireland Final. As you look out onto the pitch you see by the expression on the faces of the team members that they are excited, nervous, cannot wait for the ball to be thrown in. They are playing against the current champions. Before hand in interviews when some of the players are being interviewed they use word like, we hope we can do well on the day. Anything can happen. We are on a roll and lets hope it does not stop here. Now imagine the game is over. The champions are still the champions. You're heartbroken. What was missing, they were confident, motivated and up for it.

When players use words such as hope, sure well give it our best shot, anything can happen there is a doubt. There is a lack of belief at some level. It may not be at a conscious level. But guaranteed there is a lack of belief somewhere.

Next imagine a different scenario. Imagine your team are playing in the All Ireland Final. As you look out onto the pitch you see by the expression on the faces of the team members that they are excited, nervous, cannot wait for the ball to be thrown in. They have been doing as much mental training as physical. They have gone through this game a thousand times in hypnosis, in their imagination at a deeper level of awareness. They believe without doubt at a conscious but more importantly at a subconscious level that they are going to win. This is going to be their day. The match is over and it is. They are the new champions.
Why because they played as a team with a belief that was second to none. They already had played this game a thousand times in their minds. What they mentally focused on at a conscious and subconscious level became their reality. There was no doubt about the result and there was no doubt about how they were going to play.

This is what sports hypnosis can bring to team sports. Sports Hypnosis can awaken the sleeping giant in all sportsmen and in doing teams can raise their game to that of giants.
