Even when I went to the playground, I never picked the best players. I picked guys with less talent, but who were willing to work hard, who had the desire to be great.
Earvin Magic Johnson, NBA guard.
There is one thing that makes a champion a Champion, the Power of his/her mind. Thats it! There is nothing else! Genetics, constant practice, natural ability, strength and endurance are all slaves to the mind. There is nothing in sport or any other endeavour that does not begin and end with the power of the mind. Everybody has the natural ability inside him or her NOW, to achieve absolutely anything.
The traits you need mentally, emotionally and physically for success you already possess within. With the assistance of hypnosis you can gain access to these abilities and experience the reality of your potential success. You are capable of being the sports person you wish to be.
This book will introduce you to many of the mental techniques I have learned whilst working with a variety of athletes from a broad spectrum of sporting arenas. You will learn simple methods written in an accessible, practical style which will enable anyone to incorporate them into their game. Whether your desires are based in the sporting arena or any other area of your life, follow the instructions and you will achieve your potential. I have total and unreserved confidence in your abilities.
Some of the techniques that you will discover are very simple, yet used correctly extremely powerful. These are techniques used by every single successful person who has achieved anything in their life, strangely enough every single person who has ever failed to achieve his or her desires also uses the same system! We all use these techniques, although the majority of humans use them unknowingly. Therefore, a persons outcome is not always to their satisfaction.
You dont need to believe in hypnosis for it to be effective. Hypnosis is based in the Subconscious mind, the non-critical part of the psyche. There is little need for conscious acceptance, other than the desire to be helped in this manner.
You will learn in this book how to gain access to past experiences of success and to duplicate those actions, whenever you wish, as often as you wish. In addition I will give you examples of the successful athletes who have used these techniques to achieve amazing results, and how they did it in case studies and custom made hypnotic scripts.
You will learn how to increase your motivation, at will. How to improve style and increase your stamina. Fear and anxiety will begin to diminish. You will learn to notice and banish success sabotage and other obstacles to your performance.
These may seem like extravagant claims, but believe me, follow your dreams and my instructions and together we will accomplish your ultimate sporting desires.
Read this book from cover to cover, as it was designed to be read, and you will have the tools to take your sporting and everyday abilities to the next level and beyond. It is true that this book was written with the sports person in mind however, many of the techniques within are perfectly adjustable to all areas of your life.
If you have bought this book and find you do not read it fully and subsequently do not act upon the ideas and techniques, you are doing yourself an injustice.
