Do you want the focus of a winning Sportsperson?

Do you wish you had the winning focus of a sportsperson? Do you envy the ability of athletes to not only know the outcomes that they want in life, but also achieve them with ease? This article by the leading provider of NLPcourses in Birmingham, Opt2xl (http://www.opt2xl.co.uk), will show you how sportspeople at all levels have used NLP to their own ends, as well as the applicability of many of these lessons to non-sportspeople who simply want to know how to live their life in a more fulfilling way.

For the sportsperson, there really is a very simple goal: to win. All of the world’s top athletes have a Mind Coach so it isn’t such an unusual thing for sportspeople to engage the services of an NLP practitioner in Birmingham or elsewhere in the UK. However, mental preparation applies to many more people than sportspeople, and the things that you focus on have a real impact on your results. We are generally taught in modern society to have positive thoughts if we want positive results, but there are many other aspects of our focus that we often ignore.

Our focus is made up of the pictures that we see in our minds, the sounds that we hear in our heads and our own self-talk and the feelings that we get in our bodies. So positive thoughts alone will not give complete focus for success. You need to make sure that all of these things are aligned towards the goal. The pictures that you see must focus on completing the goal with sounds, self-talk and internal feelings that support this.

In our NLP coaching in Birmingham for both sportspeople and non-sportspeople, we assert the importance of paying attention to the whole package, rather than just a few of the aforementioned elements that make up your focus. Let's imagine, for example, that you are a runner at the start of a race, and you cater for the aspect of self-talk by telling yourself positive, affirming things like, "I'm going to win". As good as that is, its effect is nullified if you neglect the visual aspect to support that, for instance, by picturing yourself coming second to your rival who beat you in the last race. You are beaten before you start. This is exactly the same for the non-athlete in, for example, a job interview saying positive things to themselves but not seeing themselves getting the job. Positive affirmations by themselves do not work.

As you can see, there are therefore many possibilities for a human being - whether or not they are a sportsperson - to be distracted from a given goal. An NLP practitioner in Birmingham will help you to achieve the absolute positive focus that you need by teaching you how to achieve the focus of a laser beam rather than that of a 40 watt light bulb. They will combine this focus with the 5 principles to Success – Know your Outcome, Take Action, Have Sensory Acuity, Use Behavioural Flexibility and always Operate from a Physiology and Psychology of Excellence so that you are always successful.

So with the help of our professionals in NLPin Birmingham here at Opt2xl (http://www.opt2xl.co.uk), you'll learn that you have the power to change your focus to achieve the outcomes that you want in life - and both sportspeople and non-sportspeople can appreciate that!
