NLP in Sport

A Presupposition of NLP is: I am in charge of my mind and therefore my results as you are in charge of your mind and therefore your results.

Graeme Le Saux, the former England football International says "So much of football is a mind game... so I go on to the field in a positive frame of mind".

Beliefs represent significant mental frameworks for our behaviour. If you REALLY believe something, you will behave in a way that supports your belief.

The contribution of belief in athletic achievement is most clearly demonstrated when someone pursues a seemingly impossible goal.

Many performance levels in sport were considered to be physical, impenetrable barriers, seemingly unattainable before they were achieved.

Perhaps one of the greatest examples of a limiting belief in sport was running a mile in under four minutes - a theory supported by the hundreds who tried and failed.

A Doctor, Roger Banister decided that this daunting barrier could be beaten. After he smashed the record in his exhausting, historic performance, people immediately believed it was now possible.

One of the functions performed by the mind is the validation of our model of the world.We often seek confirmation for what we believe, even if those beliefs are harmful to our well being and better good.

When you believe you are capable and confident, you pay attention to the signals from outside which reinforce those beliefs.If you believe you are not as good as others or that you are being judged badly, you seek the confirming evidence just as easily.

Barriers created by negative emotions or limiting beliefs often impede even the most gifted athletes from realising their full potential.
