What kind of results can the typical athlete who receives Hypnotherapy expect to see?
Each individual is different, so results will vary from athlete to athlete due to their personal dedication to improve their mental game, and ability to implement strategies to overcome the mental obstacles that get in the way of performance. In general, athletes will improve confidence; learn how to regain/maintain composure; overcome distractions; and enter the zone faster and stay there longer.What does it mean to be "in the zone"?

Being "in the zone" is defined as having a higher level of concentration and being totally engrossed in an endeavour…to the point where time almost stands still and outside distractions almost disappear. Finding the triggers that can help an athlete enter the zone and learning to stay in the zone are the prerequisites for any successful athletic performance.
How does Hypnotherapy improve sports performance?
The same neurological process occurs in the brain if you actively 'do' something or if you imagine doing something, the subconscious mind does not differentiate between the two, therefore if you visualise winning a race or putting the ball you mind becomes tuned to that event. It is this phenomenon of the mind that is utilized in hypnotherapy to improve sports improvement, most professional athletes consider visualisation as an important part of their training.

Am experiment in America in the 1960's proves this point. Three teams of basket ball players we set tasks for 1 week. The first team was asked to practice throwing the ball into the basket constantly all week. The second team was given a 50 - 50 split of actively practicing with the ball and visualising throwing the ball into the basket, the final team was asked to simply visualise and didn't pick up a ball once. After the weeks activities the 3 teams were tested and the 3rd team, who hadn't actively practiced all week, scored significantly higher than the other two teams...the power of the mind over takes and empowers the body!
