Mind and Body Connection through Sports Hypnosis

by Coach Guerci on July 7, 2010

Considerable mental and physical strain is experienced by players before starting a game. Sports hypnosis and mental training enables them to:
• Focus better
• Overcome these problems
• Improve their focus
• Feel revitalized and energized

The power of the mind and body connection offers limitless opportunities for delivering peak performance.

Dr. David Spiegel, Assoc. Chair of Psychiatry, Stanford University School of Medicine, stated that hypnosis is not about mind control but about “…a naturally occurring state of concentration.” This enables a player to exercise better control over the mind and the body.

Mental Training: Awakening your Mind and Body
When a sports hypnosis professional helps the players through various trance levels, they feel a sense of oneness with the mind and body. This is the state of relaxation that helps them focus on the task at hand. It also clears their minds of negative thoughts and outside pressures.

Mental training aims at awakening the mind and body by:
• reducing stress
• eradicating nervousness

Further, this helps players to play with a positive attitude and demonstrate confidence outward actions.

Sports hypnosis coach Guerci guides players to harmonize the mind and body connection through effective mental training.
