Introduction to Sports Psychology
The mind/body connection is crucial in sport. Staying focused and 'in the zone' enhances performance.
Sports psychology focuses on the ‘here and now’. It's not about dwelling on the bad shot, decision etc you have just made, nor about projecting a negative outcome on to the future. It is being fully focused and concentrating on the present moment.
The main tools for improving mental ability, and so performance, lie in the key areas of self-confidence, self-acceptance, self-esteem, managing stress and anxiety under pressure and maintaining concentration.
Techniques used to heighten performance include visualisation, relaxation, positive self-talk, mindfulness, NLP and goal setting.
NLP techniques help to identify well-formed conditions - the keys to achievable outcomes and principles to success - as well as providing renowned motivational strategies.
The best performers in the world have excellent control over their minds. If you're seeking to improve your own sporting performance, or that of your team, please get in touch.
