An experienced sports hypnotherapist that has worked with the best in their field
Tony has worked with UFC fighters, boxers, tennis players, footballers, kayakers, golfers, lawn bowlers, basketball players, martial artists and many more. Many professional athletes or budding amateurs are realising that sports psychology to create that winning mind set is just as important as training the body.
How sports hypnosis works
Tony’s program starts by teaching you how your mind works so you get an understanding of how we create what we do and how to set and achieve your goals. In sport we train our mind and body through repetition until we have developed and a skill or technique. This skill is trained into the subconscious mind and body until it becomes habitual. We don’t need to think about it. Our subconscious mind is processing information at 20,000,000 bit of information per second and sends messages to muscle memory to perform the skill or technique. We are not even conscious of it.
Let’s take the example of someone jumping up to catch a ball. First the mind has to work out the speed of the ball, the height, the distance and the trajectory and calculate where the best possible place will be to catch the ball. At the same time, it must be calculating the speed, height and distance the body must move to reach that point. The mind must at the same time be sending information to just about every muscle in the body, on just the right amount of tension or release that will enable the body to take those couple of steps, jump up and bring the hands together at just the right time and with just the right amount of pressure to catch the ball. That body is one hell of a machine and that mind one hell of a computer.
The problem is thinking. Once we bring in the conscious mind and start thinking, we interrupt the flow of information passing between the subconscious and muscle memory. This is what’s known as the yips in golf. When athletes are off their game, it is usually a psychological issue, not a physical one.
