Sports Hypnosis Works !

Good well-rounded approach to using hypnosis for enhancing sports performance. I certainly will use some of Mr Liggett's methods when working with my sports clients. However, being over 10 years old, this book deserves to be revised. His insistance on using only a hypnotist with an advanced medical degree is a bit old fashioned. Certainly one needs to work with a qualified hypnotist who knows how to handle special situations that may come up (like how to handle an abreaction) but there are many well trained professional hypnotists who can do this work without being a Psychologist; perhaps even better. At the time of this writing he doesn't seem to recognize the National Guild of Hypnotists either. A very good book for all those who want to work with sports mental-conditioning. It doing give step by step methods that I will refer to often. Another thought; funny how I held off buying this book for a couple years just because of the cover picture of a young man whom I guessed was the author. It turns out that Mr. Liggett is an older gentleman who is pictured inside the book. I guess some professional in 'marketing' felt that the younger man's picture would help sell the book. Perhaps it has overall, but it held me back. George Guarino www.HypnosisWorksWell.com

Intelligent survey and introduction

A serious and informative introduction to a murky subject. A variety of athlete examples are given (kayaking, pole-vaulting, basketball, football) but alas, nothing directly pertinent to what I wanted.

Sports Hypnosis, reviewed by Christopher R. Newton

This book is excellent. As a sports hypnosist myself, I understand it's potential value in so many immediately relevant areas. It covers a wide range of examples, but not just American sports like American football and baseball. This book has worldwide appealThe writing style clear, without vague generalisations.It covers pain relief - an all too common problem. It goes into establishing a rapport with cynical clients, by giving immediate solutions to some of the many problems sportsmen and women face everydayAs some of you will already know sports hypnosis is able to improve anyones abilites. Running faster, make them stronger than before. Don't forget hypnosis is not a conjuring trick, it's for real, with no use of drugs.Best wishes to all Christopher R. Newton
