Hypnosis for Sports Performance Online Certification Course
I’ve been asked about offering a hypnosis for sports training programme for a number of years now and have long had plans to put one together. I wanted it to be something that was not just casually thrown together and so I have taken a lot of time in putting this together in order to deliver a very high quality training programme for all those who study it.
Hypnosis for advancing sporting performance is a majorly fast growing market for qualified hypnotherapists.
More people than ever are running (have you seen how many people attend Parkruns each week?!), swimming, cycling, lifting weights or engaged in team sports of varying kinds. Every boxer, golfer, ballerina, runner and cyclist is a potential client for the hypnotherapist with specialist sports skills and knowledge. Thousands of adults and children are involved in recreational and professional sports, and so many of them are looking to advance their performance by enhancing their mental game.
In this certification course, I’ll be sharing the protocols used at Bournemouth University to advance muscular strength, I’ll be sharing the fruits of my own explorations of the evidence base and literature supporting the ways hypnosis can be used for sports performance enhancement and I’ll also be sharing nearly 25 years of experience as an athlete, and Hypnotherapist who has worked with many amateur and professional athletes (including world record holders and those competing at international level) and I share a number of stand-out case studies and explain the work I did within them.
This programme includes video footage of a two-day specialist, comprehensive training course offering you a robust understanding of the foundations of sports psychology (cognitive sports psychology in particular as it complements self-hypnosis so well), as well as the techniques and strategies used in the fields of sports psychology and sports hypnosis to help athletes of all levels achieve their best.

I have been a UK Athletics qualified running coach (though am no longer registered).
I have had high profile sporting clients and am colleagues and friends with ex-Olympians, well-known coaches and sports people.

To date, a former world champion runner, a former multi-world champion athlete, a multi world record holder as well as many, many mere mortals ranging from highly competitive athletes to beginners and journeymen have worked with me, and many continue to work with me.
