What do exams, golf and speeches all have in common?
… I’ve helped clients with all of the above, with great results! (And clay pigeon shooting, dance performances, job interviews, driving tests and piano playing). No.. I do not know anything about golf, or most of the above, but luckily I don’t need to.
I use a combination of solution focused therapy, hypnosis and NLP techniques to mentally rehearse the event going just the way the client wants it to.
Imagine if an athlete turned up to an event thinking “I’m going to be crap at this today”. How well would they perform?! Imagine the difference if they turned up having positively visualised every last detail, feeling calm, confident and in control.
There are many anecdotes online about golfers who have improved their performance without actually swinging a club, and even specific golf coaches for the mind!
Next time you feel nervous about something, perhaps instead of worrying about what could go wrong, instead try imagining it going exactly the way you want it to.
