He is known and respected for his workshops on sports psychology in general, but specifically with how hypnosis is utilized as a tool for focusing and preparing the mind for competition. Although his work with individuals is confidential under requirements of his license, he has worked with players on both the men's and women's professional racquetball tours. Many athletes spend hours conditioning the body and practicing their sport attempting to perfect their skills. They give very little time, if any, to conditioning their mind to be just as ready for competition. In fact, most athletes don't have a clue as to how they might go about the process of mental preparation.
Peak performance is a result of the body and mind interacting and working in harmony.
In the same way that a forehand is executed without a thought because one has practiced it many times prior to the competition, mental sharpness and toughness should occur because its techniques have been practiced. The athletes I talk with often tell me how difficult it is to maintain focused concentration through the entire match or tournament. I ask them if they have practiced the skill of focused concentration prior to arriving for the event. I will train athletes I work with to be able to hypnotize themselves which is to be able to induce through a simple cue a very intense, focused state of absorption. We have found that the more one practices this ability with eyes closed, the more easily a focused state is able to be maintained.
