Whether you’re an individual, team, professional or amateur sportsperson, COACHD Rapid Transformational Therapy™(RTT™) and Hypnotherapy can help to dramatically improve your performance so that you can excel at your chosen sport, all using the power of your mind.
Professional athletes have used visualisation techniques to set records, win tournaments, and compete at their very best. In as little as one session, COACHD Rapid Transformational Therapy™(RTT™) and Hypnotherapy can help empower your mind to achieve phenomenal success in your chosen sport. We will teach you how to master the power of your mind so that you know that ‘you are enough’ and that a winning mindset and a winning performance are available to you!
We help our sports clients understand that their thoughts become reality, so they can actively work towards changing that reality into something that aligns perfectly with the performance and results they most desire. We not only help our clients improve their emotional health but many aspects of their physical health too. Emotional pain is often expressed through the body, so we work on improving our client's patterns of thought so that their physical self is affected positively as a result.
COACHD Rapid Transformational Therapy™(RTT™) and Hypnotherapy use powerful tools and techniques under hypnosis to help our clients visualise their muscles working at peak effectiveness, improving their hand-eye coordination, and most importantly, installing a phenomenal winning mindset. COACHD therapies can help to improve your life at home and in sports, training, and competition, and can help to reduce injury and speed up recovery.
For team sports COACHD Rapid Transformational Therapy™(RTT™) and Hypnotherapy administered in a group environment can help ensure the whole team is thinking and performing on the same wavelength, communicating seamlessly and effortlessly, all sharing the same winning attitude. You make your beliefs and then your beliefs make you If you’ve been routinely convincing yourself that you’re not good enough or had thoughts that winning isn’t available to you, your mind will do everything it can to make that your reality. Poor sports performance and failing to get the results you’ve worked hard for are perfect examples of what happens when you dialogue with your mind this way, they are your mind and body's response to the beliefs you hold about yourself, and a way of protecting you from the pain that you have linked to failure.
Repeated negative thoughts will demotivate you and give rise to an even more powerful ‘inner critic’. It will keep you exactly where you tell it you want to be. Although the mind resists change, it is quite brilliant at learning through repetition – tell it something enough times and in the right way and it happily recodes itself to the new instruction. That’s an aspect of the mind that COACHD takes full advantage of with our Rapid Transformational Therapy™(RTT™) and Hypnotherapy when treating clients with sports performance issues.
Every thought you think, every word you say to yourself and every picture you create in your mind, form a blueprint that your mind and body work to make your reality. And since your mind responds to the things you tell it, then, by definition, it will protect those things and make them your reality. Knowing this, you can see that your reality isn’t something external to you, it is whatever reality you create in your mind. Your mind doesn't care about being happy We imagine that our mind’s job is to make us happy, and yet it really isn’t. Our mind's job is to ensure we survive against what were once terrible odds. And one of the ways we survived was in the way our mind responded to the things we said to ourselves, such as ‘That would kill me, or I’d die if that happened.’ Upon hearing this, our mind would go into red alert, doing whatever was necessary to prevent the fateful event from occurring. Roll forward to today, and nothing has changed, our mind still thinks and acts the same as was the case during tougher times, when hardship was a daily event and death was far more likely. Therefore, it is up to us to tell ourselves a different story if we want our mind and body to give us an outcome that is befitting of better circumstances.
That said, even professional athletes tell themselves some pretty crazy stuff, and sometimes, they subconsciously create roles, functions and intentions for those crazy thoughts in the form of performance issues, illness and injury. Our emotional pain is very often expressed through the body as a physical symptom, worse so for someone whose career relies on their physical performance. Thankfully, the solution to this problem is quite simple, only requiring us to train ourselves to think better thoughts. Tell yourself a winning story Creating better thoughts means telling ourselves a better story.
Our brains are hard-wired to chase familiar experiences and avoid unfamiliar ones. This I’m sure you agree makes sense from a point of reducing risk and increasing our chance of survival. Trying something new is always harder, or riskier than doing something you’ve always done.
This tendency towards the familiar can lead to some dangerous habits too. Have you ever experienced a toxic relationship? Often, that toxicity becomes so familiar, that suddenly it becomes your reality and the experience that you move towards, time and time again. In doing so, you also create a false narrative, telling yourself that this is how relationships are for you, and how they need to be, and you stay a part of that false narrative for as long as possible. Humans are hard-wired to recreate what is familiar to them, we prefer what we know, even if it’s bad for us.
So how do we change our story? How do you make thoughts like ‘I’m a winner, I’m unbeatable, I’m here for a reason’ stick in your brain and become your familiar way of thinking?
Well, you can start by getting up each and every morning and telling yourself, ‘I’m a winning machine. I have a skill, I have a talent, and I have something to offer the world.’ Whatever it is you most want to hear, say it to yourself, because your mind doesn’t know what’s coming, it’s just waiting for your next instruction, so why not make those instructions the things that make you feel wonderful? Keep in mind that the words you say to yourself and the pictures you create in your head cause your body to have a physical response, usually of equal measure and proportion to what you tell it, so choosing your words wisely means they will work for you and not against you.
Sure it sounds almost too easy, but here’s the thing, you have to be consistent. If you’re going to tell yourself a winning story and you want it to stick, you absolutely must tell yourself that story every day, always and forever - the mind learns through repetition.
There is actually nothing on the planet that will raise your self-esteem more than receiving someone's praise, but self-praise is even better. And because the mind likes repetition so much, when praising yourself every day, your mind thinks, ‘Here you go again with that praise. You say it every day, it must be true.’ Similarly, if you criticise yourself every day, your mind works the exact same way, accepting it to be the truth and helping build upon this blueprint as your preferred mode of being.
A massive part of your well-being relies on the story you’re telling yourself. Bad things will inevitably happen to you, as with everyone else, and when something bad does happen, you will inevitably attach meaning to that event. Blaming yourself, and self-criticism are harmful, but you can reverse these familiar responses and change your story from ‘I’m worthless’ to ‘I’m worthy’, and see the remarkable effect that has on your sporting life. Knowing 'you are enough' changes everything The thing we see most people struggling with is always a belief ‘I’m not enough’.
That feeling of not being enough is easily the biggest issue our sports performance clients face. In fact, without any consultation, we can confidently tell our clients that there are only three things that can be wrong with them. The first is, I’m not enough. The second is, I’m different, so I can’t connect. And the third is, I really want something, like a successful sports career, but it isn’t available to me. A possible fourth belief is, even if there is help available, I don’t deserve it.
Ultimately what this feeling of not being enough comes down to is a lack of self-belief and the fear of failure and rejection. From birth, we are hard-wired to find connection and avoid rejection. It’s the fear of rejection that is crippling and can cause many of the issues we treat in our clinic. These fears of failure, rejection and judgement are further polarised for our clients working in professional sports. We teach all our clients that the only person who could truly reject them is them and that other people can only reject them if they choose to let the feeling in. ‘I am enough’ is a phrase we ask our clients to tell themselves repeatedly because when they know they are enough, and they truly believe it, everything is available to them. The life you want is available to you! Living a life where you have phenomenal sporting success, without self-doubt and the fear of failure or judgement may seem a long way off, or even feel impossible, but it needn’t be this way. At COACHD, we know that nothing in life influences you more than the beliefs that your mind links pleasure and pain to.
