Techniques Used: Brain Gym – I used brain gym to help create rapport by mirroring John’s movements during the workout, while also helping him set a specific goal

I relaxed John down and focused his mind
The Power of Suggestion -
I used the power of suggestion to help John imagine himself achieving his goals. This technique is used to create a positive mental image of the desired outcome, which in turn helps to build confidence and belief in one's abilities.
The power of suggestion is where the phrase "I put a spell on you" comes from. The word "spell" actually comes from the Old English word "spellian," which means to talk or speak
This highlights the fact that words are incredibly powerful and can have a significant impact on our thoughts, feelings, and actions
Just as a magician can use spells to influence their audience, sports performers and athletes can use the power of suggestion to enhance their performance. By choosing their words carefully and using positive language, they can create a mindset that empowers them to achieve their goals and perform at their best
“Words and magic were in the beginning one and the same thing, and even today words retain much of their magical power.”
― Sigmund Freud, Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis
Tunnel Visualization -
I suggested that John imagine himself in a tunnel before starting his game to help him avoid distractions and stay focused on his performance. This technique is used to create a visual and mental block from any external stimuli that could impact his game.
The Metaphor of William Tell -
I used the metaphor of William Tell, a legendary archer known for his accuracy and focus, to inspire John to improve his golfing skills. This metaphor encouraged John to visualize his shots hitting the target accurately and consistently.
Reframing -
I helped John reframe his negative beliefs about his abilities, such as "I'm not good enough" or "I always mess up." By using positive language and focusing on his strengths, we were able to boost John's confidence and motivation toward improving his game.
Goal Setting -
We worked on John's goals for his game. We broke down his long-term goals into smaller, achievable steps and set a timeline for each stage.
Triggers -
I used Triggers to help John associate positive emotions with his successful shots. By using a specific gesture or physical sensation, John was able to access these positive emotions and apply them to his future shots.
Results:
Over the course of 8 weeks, John practiced these techniques diligently and made significant progress in his golfing performance. He reported feeling more focused, confident, and in control during games. His accuracy and consistency improved, and he was able to ignore distractions from other golfers. By using these techniques, I was able to help John overcome his limiting beliefs and create a positive mindset toward his game. Together, we were able to help John achieve lasting change and improve his golfing skills.
