ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE – You Can Reach Your Personal Best
Olympic athletes use self-hypnosis to help them achieve top performance. United States teams and those of other nations recognize that the power of mental rehearsal is equally as important as physical practice. Russian teams are taught mental conditioning from the outset of training. For the average person, hypnotism cannot turn a golfing duffer into an international champion. Factors, skills and abilities other than mental are involved. But hypnosis can be used to enable a player to achieve his or her personal best!
