There are numerous references by many of the world’s most elite athletes all saying the same thing, 80% + of sports success is in the mind, irrelevant of what sporting background they are from they agree.

Sports Case Studies
Case Study #1
An amateur motorcyclist contacted me because he was fed up with being so nervous at the start line and getting poor results, he always compared himself against those who were better than himself and felt that he needed some answers.
Usually this young man would be finishing around 45 th in his group, the following week after our work together he finished 15 th, the competition after that he finished 10 th, the week after that he finished 8 th. At the end of that season he had done so well that he was automatically moved up to the next group where he more or less replicated the same climb that he had the previous year.
Case Study #2
A Grand Prix competitor came to work with me because he had been competing at the top level in Grand Prix for nearly a decade without ever getting into the final 3 of the world rankings.
At the end of the year he had finished 2 nd in the world and had won 3 Grand Prix and several other podium finishes, he became the highest points scorer in 2 separate leagues and was recipient of several other awards in other competitions in his sport. And that was in one year.
Case Study #3
This is a young competitor who could always compete well at home venues and seemed always to perform poorly at away competitions due to very high anxiety levels and fear of failure.
We used Hypnosis on its own to solve this problem; the first session was for an hour to chat about the issue so that I could learn more about and would then knew what to do to have it go away. I wrote some suggestions that would be delivered via hypnosis in the following session.
The results are that she is just as good at home competition as before, but now she is even better away from home than she is at home!
Case Study #4
A very nervous show jumper, before and during competition this young person would be “a bag of nerves” with concerns about all the people watching, fearful of making mistakes, scared witless of sustaining an injury to self or horse, mum and dad putting huge amounts of pressure on which also exaggerated the problem.
Within the space of 1 year this competitor raised 2 classes and put huge value on the horse, the parents now communicated differently and as a family they have grown stronger. All the problems of the past have gone.
