Amanda has been working with the Rugby 7's Country Otago team, they attended a 3 hour Sports Psychology seminar presented by Amanda, focusing on visualization prior to the 7's Nationals in Queenstown. They reached their outcome, which was to play as a team and better than in past years, they played and won games, despite team injuries. They were reported as 'local heros' and Amanda has been invited to travel with them in November for the Cook Islands' International 7's in Rarotonga for more Sports Psychology work.
NLP will help you tap into your excellence, there is no waving of a magic wand, just the ability to communicate with your unconscious mind and therefore unlock the ability to access the outcome you want.
A typical coaching session goes for 90 mins, during which we identify a specific performance outcome - what do you want to improve? Then we assist you to move in that direction using NLP modelling and high achievement techniques.
For example, a session might cover simple ways to maintain your concentration and focus through the use of sensory 'triggers', techniques for mastering negative emotions, changing perceptions of a past negative event, strategies for developing a more positive mental attitude and personal resilience.
We might work on building a strong sense of self confidence and a more positive self image and program these into your future using timelines. NLP will help you overcome a negative limiting belief and install the belief that will take you to the next level.
Ian Woosman MBE, World number 1 Ranking golfer in 1991 and US Masters winner says simply, "NLP helped my game. It will help yours too".
Talent and physical ability can get you only so far - then it comes down to attitude and training. Everyone can get better.......with the right physical and mental training.
