Wow…what a month it has been!
I’ve performed at six high school after prom parties, held a
couple of one-on-one tutorials on self-hypnosis and, this morning, was part of
the entertainment at Springbrook
High School’s senior picnic.
At Springbrook, I had the good fortune to meet with a group
of wonderful kids, many of whom plan to compete in athletics at the collegiate
level.
For some, the reaction to hypnosis was fairly tepid until I
mentioned how athletes and celebrities use the power of positive visualization
to improve focus and performance. That’s
what got things rolling and I ultimately had more than 50 students volunteer to
give hypnosis a try.
Included below are links to articles I’ve published on this
blog about hypnosis as a tool for success in competitive sports. Like Springbrook’s graduating seniors, I thought
you’d find them of interest.
Washington Capitals goalie Braden Holtby employs hypnosis as
a tool to improve his performance in game situations.
From Jessica Alba and Orlando Bloom to Duchess Kate, a
myriad of actors, entertainers and musicians have used hypnosis as a tool to
improve focus, concentration and creativity.
Now a professional player with the Chicago Bulls, Doug
McDermott tapped into his subconscious mind while in college to enhance his
competitive edge.
This teenage gymnast won five gold medals at the 1984
Olympics with the aid of positive visualization.
