Any athlete will tell you that sports
is as much a psychological battle as much as it is
a physical challenge. Performance anxiety and other
common problems often lead to muscle tension. Tense
muscles require much more energy to operate. Furthermore,
a confused, anxious athlete will not be able to respond
dynamically to unexpected challenges.
"I just turned fifty
and yet I'm in the best shape of my life. Mind
machines help me recover more quickly, rest
more deeply , and, I believe, stimulate growth
hormone"
- Frank Zane, three-time
Mr. Olympia.

There is a huge body of evidence that brainwave stimulation,
relaxation, visualization and anchoring techniques
can vastly improve sports performance. Athletes who
use this technology report rapid improvements, not
only in performance but in general mental attitude
and the ability to respond faster to changing situations.
If you read some of the articles in the Further
Reading section you will find dozens of success
stories from athletes. For example, a golfer lost over
600 professional tournaments before turning to Entrainment and
Visualization, and won soon after! More than a few
athletes have tripled their earnings using this technology.
The
evidence for performance enhancement is particularly
prevalent because coaches recognize the importance
of psychology in sports, and have developed entrainment,
brain training and self-programming regimens for their
athletes.
The Sessions in the Neuro-Programmer
will familiarize you with the "Zone" state,
aid in Visualization, Relaxation and help prepare you
to compete and perform at your best.
NP2 not only includes all the Sessions
and Brain Training you need for Performance Enhancement,
but there is also a full section of the documentation
dedicated to Sports Performance, including instructions,
practical psychological techniques and other tips recommended
and used successfully by athletes and coaches around
the world. |
