Hypnotherapy for Cricket 

Hypnotherapy for cricket can help you to perform at your best on the field so that you play better and enjoy your game even more.

Cricket season is well and truly upon us. England have just finished a series with the West Indies and are about to face India. The Championship is in full swing and the Vitality Blast is up and running. With summer here, cricket takes over as the main event.

With the season up and running, it’s the time of year where I work with a lot of cricketers on their performance. Sometimes their season hasn’t got started as they would like and for others, it’s about pushing on to the next level that they know they are capable of. As with all sports, your mindset is key when playing. Whether it is your batting performance, your bowling consistency or even both, you need to have focus, concentration, calmness and confidence. You need to be in the zone so that all your training instinctively comes to the fore and where you are making good decisions and handling any challenges.

Perhaps only like golf, during cricket there can be a lot of time for thinking. There is the time when your team is batting and you are just waiting to go in. There will be times between innings for your mind to wander. In the field it can be easy to switch off if you aren’t being called upon to do much. When batting or bowling you need to be making multiple decisions, handling whatever comes up, dealing with pressure and staying focused on the next shot or ball and managing the time between each action. If you make a mistake you need to be able to move on quickly rather than letting it linger. Even when you take a wicket or play a great shot, you need to quickly and effectively refocus and engage for what comes next.

Sometimes players get anxious, nervous and lack belief before and during a match. Those thoughts and feelings lead to tension, negative self talk, a lack of trust in your playing and poor decisions. This can have a knock on effect into your next game as you worry about playing poorly again. That then leads to even more lack of belief and anxiety. Sometimes you know you have more to give yet somehow you keep getting in your own way.

Hypnotherapy for cricket can help you to take control over your thoughts, feelings, actions and reactions when you play. You can feel calm, focused and confident and keep your mind and attention in the game. Hypnotherapy boosts your self belief and a belief in your own capability has been strongly linked with best performance.

Hypnosis For Cricket Performance

Research has demonstrated that hypnosis can be a very effective tool for helping you to enhance and improve your performance in many sports, including cricket.

Hypnosis has been shown to be effective for improving performance in a variety of sports, with the strongest support for enhancement of basketball, golf, soccer and badminton skills.’ There is also evidence that hypnosis may be useful for enhancing performance in cricket and weight-lifting, as well as precision sports like archery and throwing accuracy (Milling & Randazzo, 2016).

There’s more on this research here: Hypnosis For Sports Performance – Research and Evidence and there are several articles here on this website where I look at additional research that shows the value and benefit of using hypnosis to advance your performance.

You may want to feel calmer and more positive before a match. You may want to take the field feeling focused, calm and confident with a clear mind for concentration and good decision making. Maybe you need help to deal with things that don’t go quite right or a previous poor performance. And you will certainly benefit from feeling calm and confident to play your shots and bowl accurately.

By training your mind, you can draw upon previous best performances and take that positive mindset into your next match. You can learn from players you admire and absorb some of their successful attitude and self-belief into your own playing. You can trust in your own game and put your training and practice into action when you need it. You get to play whilst feeling mentally calm so that you think clearly, make good decisions and handle things calmly. You can feel relaxed and prepared physically and have encouraging and constructive inner dialogue and ideas. You get to learn, grow and improve your game as you enjoy playing confidently.

If you want to play at your best then hypnotherapy for cricket can help you to build confidence and self-belief, reduce anxiety and develop focus in your sport so you can play to your potential.
