Sports Hypnosis Tips: Associate or Dissociate
Endurance athletes can be out there doing their sport for a long time. For shorter time periods, there’s no problem keeping your mind busy, but when you’re out for hours, it’s harder. One approach, used by many elite athletes, is association, where you tune in to what your body is doing. Sports hypnosis can help you develop this ability to concentrate. Another approach is dissociation, where you let your mind wander or even enter a semi-meditative state, which is similar to a hypnotic trance.

Sports Hypnosis Tips: Mastering Skills Through Repetition
There are many aspects of sports performance that can only be mastered through repetition. Examples are the golf swing, basketball free throw, and baseball swing. You can enhance your skills more by using both physical and mental practice. Once you have the technique down so it is comfortable for you and approved by your coach, implement sports hypnosis visualization of the movement to go along with your physical practice.

Sports Hypnosis Tips: Visualization Makes the Race Easier
Try this sports hypnosis trick during a race. It works for running or biking, and you may be able to find ways to use it in other sports as well.

During a long race or workout, especially one with hills, every time you see a certain color (your choice), visualize yourself being pulled along by energy from the object. If you have trained well, much of the fatigue you feel is mental. This way, you release some of that fatigue by imagining you have some help from an energy field, cued by the yellow of a fire hydrant or somebody’s red sweater. Another technique some people have used successfully is to visualize themselves being pulled uphill by an invisible rope, so they feel they are using less energy.

Sports Hypnosis Tips: Hypnosis and Bowling
Hypnosis can help all kinds of sports performance. Bowling is one sport where it probably isn’t used too much, but to which it lends itself very well. Advanced bowlers are expert at analyzing the lanes, but even novices learn the correct technique, though it takes a while to master it. Once you are confident you know the technique, visualize yourself using that technique before you deliver the ball. Concentrate and let your mind help you guide the ball.

Sports Hypnosis Tips: Use Hypnosis for Your Next Road Race
Sports hypnosis can help you improve your results when you run your next race. Some runners actually visualize how they will run the entire course. If you don’t want to survey and memorize the course, plan your strategy–how fast you will start, how you will handle hills, etc.–and refer that to your subconscious mind. Just before the race, visualize your performance. Then relax and enjoy the race. You will automatically implement your strategy without worrying about it.

Sports Hypnosis Tips: Hypnosis For Performance Enhancement in Sports
Hypnosis and performance sports is no new combination. Hypnosis is widely used among sports teams and individual athletes in order to improve performance. Hypnosis works in two fundamental ways. First, athletes can concentrate on one area of their game they wish to improve (i.e., hitting a home run). Alternatively they can empower themselves in a more general way by envisioning successful outcomes of their performance (i.e. wining the game/competition).
