Book Description
Harness the power of your own mind! Hypnosis is now a mainstream, modern training technique used by top professionals; it’s not the submissive state that has been portrayed in movies and misunderstood by the public. It can help you sharpen your mental focus, relax your body, visualize success, stimulate healing, and control your emotions during training or when facing an important competition.
Harness the power of your own mind! Hypnosis is now a mainstream, modern training technique used by top professionals; it’s not the submissive state that has been portrayed in movies and misunderstood by the public. It can help you sharpen your mental focus, relax your body, visualize success, stimulate healing, and control your emotions during training or when facing an important competition.
The positive effects allow you to approach what sport psychologists, coaches, and athletes refer to when they talk about "getting in the zone." This state of mental functioning allows you to channel attention and energies toward the task at hand. Sport Hypnosis is a guide to that special psychological realm and the higher performance athletes aspire to.
Author Dr. Don Liggett presents the hypnosis techniques that he has applied effectively with athletes in many different sports. You can adopt these techniques readily to your own training and competitions. If you’re looking for a way to improve the mental side of your performance equation, Sport Hypnosis just may be the edge you need to become a champion.
About the Author
Donald R. Liggett is a retired professor of psychology and education and a hypnotherapist certified through the American Society for Clinical Hypnosis. He has worked with a wide variety of athletes, including powerlifters, basketball players, football kickers and receivers, gymnasts, wrestlers, hockey players, and cross country runners. He received his master’s degree in experimental psychology and doctorate in international education and educational psychology from Stanford University. While teaching the psychology of hypnosis at Stanford, he became the first person to use hypnosis to improve athletic performance of members of Stanford’s gymnastics and football teams.
In 1997, Liggett was invited to teach sport psychology at the University of Malaya and to use hypnosis to help Malaysian athletes prepare for the 1998 Commonwealth Games. These efforts were rewarded when three of his athletes won medals—two golds and one bronze. Liggett and his wife, Jeanne, live in Gig Harbor, Washington. In his free time he enjoys growing dahlias, downhill skiing, playing the piano, and traveling.
