Sporting Excellence With NLP

As time goes on it is becoming more and more widely recognised that being able to win at sport is significantly affected by mental attitude. In fact most athletes, sportsmen and women will tell you that the 'inner game' of their chosen sport is where all performance starts. Without a solid 'inner game' there is no chance of being able to perform to high level on the outside.

This principle of improving what you do on the inside in order to improve how you perform on the outside has been known for quite some time now. In fact, there is something called 'The Law of Correspondence' which dates back many thousands of years and states 'As within, so without. That your outer world (ie your job, the amount of money you earn, how you perform on a day to day basis etc...) is merely a reflection of your inner world (ie your thoughts, feelings, beliefs and attitudes) and, if you want to make a change on the outside, you must first make a change on the inside.

While this is relevant in every area of our lives, it has particular relevance when it comes to achieving a high level of performance in sport consistently. Now, if you are an athlete, sports person or sports coach, you will fully appreciate that the key phrase here is 'consistently'. One of the main critical factors to becoming successful in your chosen sport is to not just produce a high level of performance every now and again, when the time or conditions are right, but to be able to do it consistently.

So how will NLP Sports Coaching help me achieve a high level of
performance consistently?

NLP Sports Coaching will help you tap into the times when you have performed at your very best and then assist you in being able to reproduce this frame of mind whenever you want. Every sports person has experienced at some stage or another a time of peak performance. Some people describe it as being 'in the zone' or a time where 'everything just falls into place' and they manage to produce a level of performance that is greatly above their norm.

These are what we call in NLP, 'Peak States'. Many people believe that we experience these peak states 'just by chance' and that there is no way to reproduce them in the times and places that we want to. Fortunately this is not true. By spending time with a skilled NLP Sports Coach you will be able to uncover your own personal strategy for being at your very best and be able to trigger it off whenever you want to.

An NLP Coach will also help you overcome any mental blocks that have stopped you in the past from achieving peak performance, assist you in setting goals and show you how you can increase your motivation levels on a consistent basis.

To sum up, by booking a series of sessions with an NLP Coach you will experience the following benefits:

• Tap into the times when you have perfomed 'at your very best'.
• Reproduce 'your best' in the times and places you want to.
• Overcome mental blocks and limitations that are stopping you from achieving peak performance in less time than you thought possible.
• Increase motivation levels on a consistent basis.
• A significant increase in perfomance on a consistent basis.
• Set goals in a way that makes them dramatically more achievable.
• A greater sense of enjoyment in your sport.

How many sessions will I have to have before I notice an increase in my performance?

The answer to this question will, of course, vary from person to person. Generally speaking 90% of people will experience a marked improvement in their attitude after the first session and, because of this, notice an increase in their level of performance shortly after this. The optimum number of sessions tends to be between 3 and 5 sessions with a gap of 1 to 2 weeks between each session.

During the sessions the NLP Sports Coach will also teach you powerful techniques that you can take away and use during the gaps between the sessions and beyond if you like. These techniques will significantly increase the impact of the sessions and will ensure that you continue to experience the benefits way after the sessions finish.

We confidently predict, from past results, that you will experience at least a 15% increase in your level of performance after a series of sessions with our NLP Sports Coach.
