Was wondering if anybody would be willing to give this a try next year:
http://www.usehypnosis.co.uk/I am of course biased but as can be seen from my performances in the Results section my times have been on a downward trend and have been consistent. I can only speak from a TT point of view but I have lost count of the amount of times I hear after races that 'I couldn't concentrate, my mind was wandering'. Even the great Guru P told me once it took him about 15 years to get his head around TTing.
I do not want you to think that this is a get quick instantly thing. I did train hard last year, especially at the beginning of the year with the chaingang and kept the training consistent throughout the year, paid attention to my nutrition and made sure I was always well rested for open events. The hypnosis was really the icing on the cake. I did not use if every race though for various reasons.
The first two times I used it I PB'd. The second of those being the Presidents 10 when I did a 21.59. George commented that I looked like a man on a mission. I was and that was all down to being able to concentrate solely on the job at hand.
If there is enough interest I will try and get my wife to give a talk at a club night in the New Year.
For all those non-competitive types she also deals with other issues. She has had success with weight loss, interview confidence, and performance anxiety when standing up in front of groups of people.
Stopping smoking is possible too but since we are such a fit bunch of people then we won't need that wil we
