Emotions play a huge part in our ability to compete at our highest level consistently. Sport itself is a wonderful field of competition ranging across dozens of modalities. Emotional stresses can arise from the periphery around any sport: Media, potential income, longevity, injury, fans, personal beliefs, opposition fans, expectations, the need for perfection, and so on. How we choose to feel and interact with our sport and life has a dramatic effect on how well we can perform.
Very often an athlete is so busy training and competing, their overall body (mental, physical, spiritual, emotional) gets completely out of alignment. From niggling injuries, to lack of sleep and lower thresholds for emotional triggers, to complete disconnection to the rest of life, athletes can feel way out in the cold when it comes to being grounded and balanced. My energy work rebalances the body’s energy systems, quietens the mind, and allows for more natural focus.
For elite athletes, their sport can be everything. And for the most part it needs to be in order to compete at their highest level. Complications arise when other factors seep into the athlete’s life. Such as a new partner, then a new family, a new coach, a new team, a new manager, a new city, a lifestyle problem / addiction. There are many possibilities and combinations of all of them. My job is to help my clients regain the simplicities of what they’re doing and how they go about their daily lives.
Sports performance, like so many areas of our lives, is dependent on many factors from one day to the next. Your ‘best’ one day will be different to your ‘best’ the next day. Sometimes the variance will be minuscule, and other times it could be quite a contrast. My job is to help athletes maintain a higher average “best’ by addressing whatever presents itself in our work. The reasons also vary widely – from personal stresses off the competition arena, to addressing intention and expectation, to issues with teammates or coaches.
