In sport, mental toughness is one of the key criteria for success. All competitors will make mistakes, have unfortunate or even unfair things happen (for example bad referee’s decisions) and have disappointments. That’s part of the fun! Without them, how would we grow and learn? How would we truly savour the taste of victory?
Being mentally tough will help athletes perform better under pressure, and make it more likely that they will perform well during the pressure of competition.
We know it is true – success is built and achieved with a team of people who both lift and inspire us along the way, but having the right mental focus and attitude plays a huge role as well. To train the body to the limits of its capabilities without simultaneously training the mind is to invite, at best, mediocrity. Sports psychologists have claimed that, for Olympic teams, 80% of an athlete’s performance is in the mind. Such belief has been echoed by championship players in virtually every form of competition. Mental rehearsal, also termed visualization, can create and reaffirm the confidence necessary to achieve top performances. What your mind can conceive, you can achieve.
Our minds have the awesome capability to reduce our heart rates and minimize physical fatigue leaving us with more endurance and motivation. Pro Athletes have learned to harness this power enabling them to achieve consistently higher outcomes. Athletes use this power of the mind to stay calm, relaxed and focused on their goal. Through positive self-talk and coaching, they are able to maintain a strong personal belief in their own innate abilities. But this same attention to focus has to be applied in the final competitions as well. Without the benefit of a calm mental state, even the best athletes will fall on the ice. Through the use of Hypnosis (Guided Imagery), one can practice new skills and allow themselves the opportunity to make necessary changes away from the highly competitive arena.
Utilizing these techniques, it is possible to reduce stress levels and increase recovery times, easily and effortlessly. We can fine-tune our concentration just as we would fine-tune our automobile to get it to running at peak performance. We are learning, at an inner-mind level, to adjust our attention to our desired objective. As we gear up our energy level, we learn to shift ourselves into overdrive when the need arises; shifting back down to cruising speed once the event is over. Mentally rehearsing at an inner-mind level gives us an added edge, the winning edge. As we learn to center our thoughts, we also learn to control our actions.
