Workshop anlässlich des Kongresses: "Mentales Stärken" vom 24. - 28. Oktober 2007 in Heidelberg
Almost everyone is amazed by the sheer physical skill of great athletes who push their bodies so hard for so many hours a day, month after month. And almost everyone knows that just as important as their physical training -- and as relevant to all of us -- is the mental training that goes into peak performance in stressful situations.

In stressful situations and high pressure competition, most people focus on the end result. They miss the present by focusing too much in the future. This causes physical and mental tensions that block 100% performance. All competition is about right now in this very moment. That is why our thoughts, feelings and awareness need to be right here right now. Self-hypnosis offers simple and fast (milliseconds) methods for being present.

The teams and individuals who win world championships, gold medals and first place finishes, are not the ones with no mistakes but the ones who are the best at managing their mistakes. For most athletes, either the mistakes manage them or they manage the mistakes. As in all sports trainings and high stress performance situations, practice and perseverance will pay off.
