Steve G. Jones, Winning Tennis With Self-Hypnosis

Average User Rating:

Steve G. Jones, a clinical hypnotherapist, has created a self hypnosis program, "Winning Tennis." After listening to the program for 21 nights, you can experience an improvement in your game and have a change in mental attitude that earns you those wins.

Psyching yourself up for a good competition is as much a part of the game of tennis as practicing your serve and backhand. Hypnosis is effective in creating a winning image in your mind and in removing mental barriers to playing your best match.

In the initial stage you are coached into a very peaceful and relaxed state of mind. Everything is ready then to be put to good use. The next stage takes you to a deeper level of relaxation and sets the stage for a spoken script to be introduced. This script contains all of the messages that help you visualize yourself making the shots and using good form and technique to win the game.

Over the course of 3 weeks the script is played each night as you go to sleep. Each night you will be brought through the stages of relaxation, a deepening of the relaxed state, the script that specifically focuses on your tennis game and how to improve it, then slowly the mind will be prompted to not over analyze what you have been listening to, so that the subconscious mind can retain and use the information. Finally, you will be prompted to go into a restful sleep and awake the next morning refreshed.

Tennis is not totally won and lost on the serve, but when you serve consistently and powerfully you gain a major advantage over your opponent.

The serve is one of the trickiest shots in tennis master initially and, like any skill, you need to practice over and over to make it 'your own'. This practice actually forges neuronal pathways in your brain to control your muscles in just the right way.

Hypnotic tennis practice is just as effective.

Serving in the exact right state of arousal; relaxed yet poised, calm yet focused, is called being in a state of 'flow' or 'in the zone'.

When you enter 'the zone' there is an inevitability in success; it's as if you know a split second before you serve that the ball is going exactly where you want it to go. When you are in the zone your mind empties all notions of success, winning or losing. All these concepts fade away as only the moment exists.

All top performers in any field describe entering this state of 'being in the zone'

Being consistently 'in the zone' when you serve means that you'll serve more powerful aces and force more errors in your opponent's play. Anxiety, too much concern with outcomes and self doubt, can all interrupt the zone experience.

You need to have an almost Zen-like sense of detachment when serving. Paradoxically, psychological detachment can make your serves all the more devastating and accurate. Trying too hard in all sports can really get in the way.
