93: Sports Hypnosis – The Athlete’s Ultimate Secret Weapon ft. Kathy Pickel

Hello my name is Kathy Pickel. I’m a Certified Clinical and Medical Hypnotherapist from the ACHT, (Atlanta Center for Hypnosis Training), I’m certified as a Consulting Hypnotist with the NGH, (National Guild of Hypnotists), I am certified as a Clinical Hypnotherapist with the ACHE () and I have a Bachelors Degree in Science from Georgia State University in Psychology. I’m also a certified NLP,  (Neuro Linguistics Programming) Practitioner, and, generally, a student of life, an autodidact. I love all things having to do with creativity and especially creativity over the long haul. In school I studied psychology and anthropology, and still love learning. I especially love learning about human potential and flow state. 

In this episode, Kathy discusses:

  • Limiting Beliefs
  • The Subconscious Mind
  • Relaxation/Direct Suggestion
  • Overcoming Failure
  • Getting into “The Zone”

Kathy also wants you to consider:

Do you know what a fighter’s mind is?

It doesn’t matter what your sport is. 

Once we figure out why you’re standing on the edge of the mat, once we figure out why you’re competing, you’ll fight every moment and not give up until you win. It will become impossible for you to fail because you’ll never quit. Your thoughts, your words, your actions will all become congruent. You’ll have the heart of a champion and the mind of a fighter, you’ll be on the offensive.  “Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles.”  Alex Karras  

Increase Your Focus

You know what it means, you understand the words, but do you know how to increase your focus?  I’ll put your hand on the knob, so you can crank it up.  The light in a laser beam is not more than the light in a standard bulb, it’s just focused. That’s what you’re going to need to know how to do to reach your peak performance, intently focus.

Don’t forget it’s play, that’s how you perform at your best.

Serious competition is still play. You’re serious when you train, but when you compete, you’re playing. Don’t forget that. Watch Michael Jordan laughing on the court. His focus is intent, but he’s playing his sport.  You work when you train, you play when you compete. When you compete you get to see what you’ve learned, you get to see how far you can push it, how far you can take it, you get to see how far you’ve come. You’re intent, you’re focused, you’re playing.
