What is the NLP in Sport Programme?

If you would like to receive full information on our NLP for Sport Programmes, please

Most people now realise that it's not enough to be just technically good as a manager, coach or trainer. To be really successful in sport you need to be good with people, a great communicator, and have a good understanding about where, when and how to apply psychology to get results.

Unfortunately most people don't have the time to spend years studying therefore this programme is an accelerated approach to gaining the essential skills required to work effectively and get the most out of themselves and others.

It's grounded in the principles of NLP, and has a specific focus on maximising personal and professional performance for working in sport in the 21st century. We also include techniques from contemporary Sport Psychology, providing a practical, balanced and experiential approach to the Mental Game.

Our aim is to provide a course that works to professionalise coaching, and add the professional development aspects that traditional coaching and technical courses don't always deliver

Who is it for?

• Professional and amateur athletes and players wanting more practical application and understanding of mental skills and development
• Anyone involved with sports coaching, development or personal training, and wants to enhance their coaching potential.
• Individuals looking for quality, recognised CPD courses, to enhance their personal and professional careers
• Attendees range from professional coaches, training full time Olympic Athletes and Professionals, to part time club coaches and personal trainers. Professional players just starting out and those looking to move into coaching, training and management at youth and senior levels.
• We also have physio's, sport psychologists, parents/youth sport organisers, managers, business professionals looking for the competitive edge and support staff across the board. If you are involved in sport, at whatever level, then we guarantee this training is something you can't afford to miss out on.... after all, sport isn't about being second best, it's about doing what ever it takes to get to the level that right for you!

How is it structured?

This course is a 9 day programme, delivered in 3 X 3 day blocks. Because we offer you full certification at NLP practitioner level, plus additional sport psychology applications, plus plenty of Q & A and practice time, we know it's important that these things are given the respect and attention they deserve. We've also included certification training in both Time Line Techniques and Hypnosis for Sport as we have been realising for a while that these techniques are being used to greater and greater effect with the athletes we train.

This means that not only do you get a quality, organised and thorough programme, we also split the course up, giving you the opportunity to learn and practice over a period of time, rather than rushing everything through at once!

Next programme starts April 2009

Hypnosis in Sport - learn about it on our Sport NLP Programme!

Hypnosis is a fascinating and frequently misunderstood subject. It is not the submissive state that many people think it is from movies, stage shows and misinformation.

It is a progressive mental training technique that allows individuals the opportunity to channel attention and sharpen focus so that they can concentrate solely on the task at hand.

It can relax your body and mind and help you to control unwanted negative thoughts and emotions.

Hypnosis allows you to get into an optimum psychological state so that you can mentally rehearse future goals such as success in sport, confidence in business, or reaching your fitness & weight loss targets.

More and more we are seeing hypnosis and guided imagery being used to great effect in areas such as Sport Performance, with world class athletes Tiger Woods, Jean-Claude Killy, Andre Agassi, Wayne Rooney, and Lennox Lewis all publicly acknowledging the importance of mental training to improve performance - and no-one can deny the success Wigan FC have had - maybe that's why the Mexican National Team employed a hypnotherapist to help with their preparation for the World Cup!

In Sport, hypnosis can help athletes of all levels with areas such as confidence, focus and improving 'closed' skills such as serving in tennis, conversion kicking in Rugby and penalty kicks in football.

Athletes and Sports people often talk about being 'in Flow' or 'In the Zone'. Being in a hypnotic trance has been likened in many ways to being in Flow. Starting to incorporate hypnosis into your regular training programme can therefore have the effect of assisting you to achieve the elusive flow state on a more regular basis, thus facilitating the right mental state and emotions to be able to perform at your optimum.

Developing and delivering mental training for all sporting bodies is where Inside Performance fills the gap of what it takes to be 'The Champions' - not simply the development of mental strength and flexibility of players, but the development of mental strengths and flexibility of those around them - making the difference between a good team and a great team!
