Increase Confidence Reduce Competition Anxiety Mentally Rehearse Program Positive Suggestions React Automatically |
Check out the Two Programs Below. 1) Specifically For Runners - Racing/Training 2) Any Activity Peak Performance Flow |
Truth: The most powerful quality that elite
performers possess is a high level of
self-confidence. Research shows that peak
performing athletes interpret their anxiety as
being helpful in facilitating their performance
and they are characterized as having a high
level of confidence. Non-peak performers
allow their anxiety to hinder or debilitate their
performance lowering confidence levels.

| How are you systematically programming your subconscious mind to sustain your Motivation and reach Peak Performance? |
Truth: Competition Activation - This is
where tension begins to rise; the moment
you begin to think about your sporting event.
Unless you believe in your ability to achieve
your goal, then you might as well forget about
it; if you don't believe in your ability to attain
your goal, you will always fail. Les Cunningham

| Research states that levels of Anxiety & Self-Confidence present in an athlete determines with considerable impact the success or failure of attaining a performance goal. see references below. |

Truth: Imagination dominates the will. If
you think and see yourself as not attaining
your goal, you will not. However, research
has shown us that athletes who regularly
include imagery in their practice have
significantly greater increases in their
performances.

| This program combines three proven practices to: Increase Confidence, Lower Anxiety, Rehearse Peak Imagery and then Automatically Experience these new qualities in competition. |
| Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) CBT is the combination of two therapies. Cognitive, which teaches you or shows you how certain “thinking patterns” are causing your symptoms and Behavior, which weakens the “mind pattern connections” between trouble-some situations and your habitual reactions to them. Altering ways of thinking — a person's thoughts, beliefs, ideas, attitudes, assumptions, mental imagery, and ways of directing his or her attention for the better. This is the “cognitive” aspect of CBT. Helping a person greet the challenges and opportunities in his or her life with a clear and calm mind and then taking actions that are likely to have desirable results. This is the “behavioral” aspect of CBT. Example: An athlete will re-evaluate performance goals. Adjusting if necessary. It is important no to set goals that are too overwhelming for an individual performance, as this can result in an increased state of anxiety and a hindered performance. It also can be beneficial to de- emphasize the importance of the competition. This can enhance the potential of allowing an athlete's peak ability to be realized. This type of restructuring of an athlete's thinking patterns becomes a significant component because it allows the individual to interpret differently their competition activation state that they will be experiencing and reduce anxiety. |
| Imagery & Hypnosis: For our purposes we will describe Imagery & Hypnosis as being in a super-relaxed, highly enjoyable state, which energizes, heightens and clears the awareness of the mind. Allowing a more receptive psyche to absorb and retain with maximum impact, the images and suggestions that are presented to it. Realize the subconscious mind does not analyze. It accepts and acts on all suggestions/images which reach it, allowing an individual to rehearse mentally so that the competition performance flows automatically without hindrance. These techniques are not a magic wand that can transform an unfit athlete to reach a personal best. However, they allow individuals to perform to the highest limits of their natural abilities without being defeated by old, negative conditioning or drained by the tension and pressure that can increase leading up to the day of competition. Imagery Example: "now picture and imagine what it feels like to be totally involved in your race... fully and completely absorbed in this moment...flowing in perfect balance, speed and strength...keenly focused, perfectly relaxed, steady and strong and on goal pace...fully enjoying this beauty and harmony of the mind and body being in perfect synch...so crisply focused in the moment,...feeling strong and powerful...and yet smooth and relaxed...and now feeling the depth of your breathing...the huge volume of oxygen coursing through your body...energizing your big hard working muscles..." Hypnosis Example: "you feel a sense of confidence in your ability to achieve your goals, this confidence is growing everyday, you are poised and confident on race day, running relaxed, powerful and enduring, right on goal pace. You see yourself easily busting through pain barriers because you are tough and strong and determined to win...and the pain means nothing to you because you have goals and you want the reward of achieving those goals. You are a sharply focused, mentally tough competitor...you see yourself running stronger, more enduring and more relaxed than ever before, staying right on goal pace..." |
