How To Apply NLP In The Sports
There are many advantages of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), such as fast phobia cure, nlp reframing, NLP modeling, etc. And in this article, I will cover about how to apply it in the sports.
NLP was founded in the 1970s by John Grinder and Richard Bandler. The coined the term to represent their believe in a relationship between neurological process (neuro) language (linguistic), and patterns of behavior that have been learned through experience (programming), and that are organized in order to attain specified life goals.
Most successful people model themselves on inspirational characters and sport is no exception. In the 2002 Salt Lake City winter Olympics, Jim Shea of the USA won gold in the skeleton. In the 1964 Innsbruck games, his father Jim Shea Sr. was a member of the US ski team and his grandfather, Jack Shea, won two speed skating gold medals in the Lake Placid games in1932. It would seem that Jim Shea Jr. only had to look to his family for inspiration.
So who inspired Jack Shea to become a double-gold medal winner in 1932? Perhaps it was fellow American Charles Jewtraw who won the first speed skating event in the first ever winter Olympics held at Chamonix in 1924. Jewtraw’s win caused an upset in a sport normally dominated by Scandinavians so where did his inspiration come from? Perhaps Shea’s inspiration came from Finnish speed skater Clas Thunberg who won three golds in 1932. Of course, he may not have been inspired by anyone or anything to do with his sport but he would no doubt still be aware of influential characters in his life who helped him to achieve his dream.
NLP is a study of what great people say, what they think, what they feel, and what they do. To become successful ourselves, we must study the ‘habits’ of successful people. Henie no doubt observed the habits of her coach and Shea Jr. no doubt picked up the habits of his father and grandfather. Studying the habits of successful people you admire or inspirational people in your life can open your mind to the potential for achieving more.
Using a sporting hero as a role model can encourage you to observe and follow their training and competition habits. Watching that person in action; following the same training regime and taking note of everything they do to execute a winning performance will all have a positive impact on your own performance.
Sports psychology teaches mind training techniques that allow coaches and athletes to realize the benefits of slowing down to speed up. By slowing down and taking the time to understand your emotional state, management strategies can be developed and put in place to allow you to stay in control of you state rather than your state controlling you. It takes time for new practices to become routine but once they do, psychological and physical progress is no longer blocked so you can get out of the dead-end alley and back on the speedway to success.
