Sports Therapy All sport areas have physical requirements as well as a mental, emotional requirement. The more solitary the pursuit the more important inner strength and focus become. Team sport requires an interactive ability to sense where your team mates are and what their needs may be, while maintaining your role within the group. For both groups and regardless of the type of training undertaken to improve ones skills requires more than a love for the sport, it requires a mental discipline just to allow the competitor to maintain a program of physical training. The better developed your ability to focus holistically the more fine tuned you will become as an athlete, it is always interesting to see just how far you can take this, as improved ability and fitness is an ongoing process not necessarily impaired by age. The amount of pressure felt by you the athlete determines the need for an understanding of how you respond to these pressures and how you can generate an inner state that promotes stamina. My definition of stamina is simply an emotional mental fortitude, it does not matter how strong the body is if you can not maintain the necessary control over that body. There are few who would challenge the idea that stamina and attitude are the primary forces in determining the difference between first and second in any competitive area many is the time we have witness a fine athlete succumbing to pressure . I also believe that energy expended with the right attitude returns a better result, where you are undertaking a process to gain physical or competitive superiority. There is less struggle and so less physical energy is expended, that is why love for your sport, for winning or even fame is vital if you wish to be the best you can be. General Aims
Physical Benefits: Energy Therapy aids the body in returning to ready state after training, encourages blood flow and improves the immune systems function ensuring maximum benefits of any training. If used beforehand or regularly, relieves muscle tension reducing the risk of injury during training or competition, by increasing blood flow without increased blood pressure ensures maximum strength and efficient use of nutrients, particularly beneficial before long distance or intense sporting events. Can reduce swelling, joint discomfort, and generally ease any pain, a treatment has an ongoing effect so if competing weekly or over a period of time an injury, not only can, but usually does continue to ease or heal while still in use, and i do mean heal, this is not about binding something up so you can suffer after the event is over. Obviously where the injury must be rested, in the case of a break or sprain, you would be looking for rapid and immaculate recovery. Mental Benefits: Energy Therapy enhances awareness which aids confidence, and can improve reflexes Assists the athlete in maintaining focus and remaining centred throughout an event, particularly beneficial for golfers, long distance sporting events, or where an audience may be distracting. shooters, archers, Javelin, high jumpers, all sports where rapid assessment of space in relation to self is important for good judgment and successful outcomes. Mental fortitude and improved attitude so setbacks will not influence the whole performance and the mind can be used as a tool to achieve and help the athlete pull out that little bit more that is always available when the mind is strong. By combining Energy Therapy with Hypnotherapy you have a powerful combination to overcome personal limitations, negative thoughts, or even the struggle with success and the demands that brings. Emotional Benefits: You can only ever do the best you can do, knowing what that is is powerful stuff, and only by knowing what your best is currently, can you improve. Some limitations are hidden under the surface and as such can work to undermine your determination or, equally damaging, waste your valuable energy on being determined to overcome the limiting belief. Allows an athlete to perform with good heart so the desire to achieve is strong and reduces the need to expend energy feeling doubtful, anxious, or self critical during competition, this enables the competitor to relax physically, which paradoxically guarantees the best possible performance on the day. Particularly beneficial in a team where one personality can upset others and throw a team into disarray, rugby, basketball, netball etc, also benefits a golfer where playing a bad hole may have a detrimental affect on the golfers performance for the next one, in any competition where the effort is ongoing or in segments a bad run is usually caused by negative feelings about the most recent performance. Remember your sport is what you do, not who you are. Identifying too closely with your performance makes it all to easy to fall into the pressure trap, to lose the pleasure gained from participating and deplete your ability to perform well at any given time in any given circumstance. The person you are is the person who loves sport and that can stay with you always. Also Available: Personal Meditations created on CD, Team Meditations to bring a group together quickly either at the beginning of a season of where one team is created out of their usual teams for competition at higher levels.
