Educational.......2005-03-03
The Power to Win Book helped change my way of thinking and focusing better in life and riding. The book was full of great information for myself a horseback rider or for anyone in general involved in sports. I would reccomend this book to anyone who would like to understand sports in general especially horse back riding more easily. It was a great book.
I don't own a horse and I still loved this book.......2005-01-03
I received this book as a gift. I don't own a horse, never have, so I was puzzled by the gift. Ms. King's book was an informative, yet easily understandable read. I gained insights into what holds us back from winning and the importance letting go of unwanted "noise." I would recommend this book to ANY ATHLETE or ANY person wanting to acheive their best, not just those in the equestrian world.
Book Description
Harness the power of your own mind! Hypnosis is now a mainstream, modern training technique used by top professionals; it's not the submissive state that has been portrayed in movies and misunderstood by the public. It can help you sharpen your mental focus, relax your body, visualize success, stimulate healing, and control your emotions during training or when facing an important competition.
The positive effects allow you to approach what sport psychologists, coaches, and athletes refer to when they talk about "getting in the zone." This state of mental functioning allows you to channel attention and energies toward the task at hand. Sport Hypnosis is a guide to that special psychological realm and the higher performance athletes aspire to.
Author Dr. Don Liggett presents the hypnosis techniques that he has applied effectively with athletes in many different sports. You can adopt these techniques readily to your own training and competitions. If you're looking for a way to improve the mental side of your performance equation, Sport Hypnosis just may be the edge you need to become a champion.

Intelligent survey and introduction.......2007-02-20
A serious and informative introduction to a murky subject. A variety of athlete examples are given (kayaking, pole-vaulting, basketball, football) but alas, nothing directly pertinent to what I wanted.
Sports Hypnosis, reviewed by Christopher R. Newton.......2000-12-19
This book is excellent. As a sports hypnosist myself, I understand it's potential value in so many immediately relevant areas. It covers a wide range of examples, but not just American sports like American football and baseball. This book has worldwide appeal
The writing style clear, without vague generalisations.
It covers pain relief - an all too common problem. It goes into establishing a rapport with cynical clients, by giving immediate solutions to some of the many problems sportsmen and women face everyday
As some of you will already know sports hypnosis is able to improve anyones abilites. Running faster, make them stronger than before.
Don't forget hypnosis is not a conjuring trick, it's for real, with no use of drugs.
Best wishes to all Christopher R. Newton

excellent afternoon read.......2005-08-24
I loved Coach Gagliardi's methods. Although, I don't agree with everything he believes in that it can be transferred to the workplace; I do think he has a outlook that more businesses should look at. Simple quick read.
Great Business Book.......2001-11-08
I manage a large staff in a financial services firm. Since I started the position a year ago, I've had problems dealing with the various personalities on staff and keeping productivity at an acceptable level. After reading this book a few weeks ago, I immediately started implementing the suggestions in "No How Coaching." Now, I can tell everyone that I've already seen results, which shocks even me because nothing else has worked. Productivity has increased. My staff is working better together. This book is amazing! If you are a company president or the lowliest peon, read this book and your business WILL IMPROVE!

It Works!.......2005-11-29
I listened to the CD 3 times. I felt confident and "In the Zone" as soon as the round began. I hit 9 Fairways which is a major improvement. My putting was excellent. I usually have "a lot" of negative thoughts during a round of golf but, this day I was very calm. Golf is mostly physchological. Listening to this CD is a great way relax and get better at golf at the same time.

Customer Reviews:
Inspirational but not psychology.......2007-08-31
This book is intended to be an inspirational presentation by an athletic coach or trainer, not a psychology book. So the reader needs to be a little forgiving at times about assertions with no citations for claims. I actually found the book useful, and I am sure the author can motivate an athlete or team.
Football Skills Unlimited!!!.......2003-08-19
Unlimited Sports Success does not claim to make an amateur into a professional, there are too many other variants in the world, but it does explain a great deal about what goes on in the mind of the athlete. Aspects that we can all use. I find myself constantly returning to this book as my life progresses and other tips become relevant, I often find myself remembering something Stephen wrote thus return to the book for some advice.
I have lent this book out on so many occasions in the past, but now am keen to keep it in my own hands as it is often tough to get it back. The reason the book is so sought after from my friends is that it deals with so many different sports. My father stole it for his Golfing advice, my cousin wanted to increase his Martial Arts internal energy (whatever that means!) my Sister wants to lose weight (whilst continuing to stuff her face!) and I need it for my Football skills.
If you choose to buy this book - take my advice write your name in the front cover!

If you play for money with your buds it may be the best investment value for your game since that $500 driver thats in your cellar.
Little good book.......1999-05-18
If you are new to 'Self-Hypnosis' this book will convince you that it really works. The explanation about the subconcious mind is the best part of this book. It also contains a basic procedure of 'Self-Hypnosis'--script for relaxation.
There are a lot of good phrases in this book. One of my favorites is: "One bad shot followed by another makes a duffer."
Did you notice? The price is very cheap. It's a good deal.

Using self hypnosis.......2000-12-02
I found this book to be very informative and very useful. Having been taught self hypnosis as part of a continuing education course, I found it to be a very well written and enlightening book. One week after getting the book and practicing the techniques, I bowled 9 pins over my average in league play.
It doesn't work: Don't Buy it.......2000-05-28

Winning the Mind Game.......2003-11-26
Review from
The Hypnotherapy Association Journal, December 2003
Winning The Mind Game
By John Edgette and Tim Rowan
Crown House Publishing Limited, Published September 2003
There is no doubt about the fact that during the past decade, hypnotherapy has certainly gained momentum and acceptance and has earned its place in the health care of many people. Techniques are used in a wide variety of problems many of them emotional and medical, but not exclusively so. Hypnosis is a valuable tool that can be used quickly and effectively to create influencing strategies in the subconscious mind to create lasting change within the patient. This can be to reduce anxiety or fight phobias. More and more it is also found to be an invaluable tool in the preparation of sportsmen. It can promote lasting changes within the athlete.
This exciting book contains a wide range of interventions that can be used by the therapist with sportsmen as individuals or as teams to enhance performance, etc. It includes: a clear step-by-step guide for working with sportsmen; a guide to using hypnosis with groups and teams; transcripts of proven successful interventions; detailed case studies; and details on how to promote this side of your business. It is a book ideal for anyone who works with sportsmen and teams with professionally or as a hobby. It also is an excellent guide to anyone who is already in the business of hypnotherapy to expand business into what is more commonly called these days, sports psychology.
This book leaves no stones unturned, no questions unanswered. It has been carefully written by its co-authors and is an immensely readable piece of literature. So much sport, in fact so much of life, is almost entirely dependent upon the way that we think so this book is that guide we have been looking for to help people "win the mind game". The book is easy-to-use and comprehensive and gives excellent step-by-step guidance for its development. I can think of a few football and cricket teams which could do with help at the moment. How about your local ?? Well----it may be worth considering!! Highly recommended!! And I am only an armchair sportsman but I can see great potential for its use here.

Winning the Mind Game.......2003-11-26
This book is directed towards the ones that coach athletes with the aim to improve performance, and deals with how one in a systematic way can use hypnosis for this purpose. The authors claim that the method they describe can be very successful but that there is a multitude of other ways that works at least as good. This humble attitude is kept throughout the book and contributes to a very pleasant reading atmosphere. The reader gets many interesting perspectives on sport psychology and many case stories can provide a source of inspiration for the coach or psychologist. A strength and weakness with this book is that it is very clear and detailed, sometimes too clear and detailed and even extracted, which perhaps makes the book more suitable for beginners in sports psychology.
Mark: 4 (i.e. very much worth reading).
Dan Hasson, PQ Magazine Sweden
Winning the Mind Game.......2003-11-26
Reviewed by Trevor Silvester - The Hypnotherapy Journal Autumn 2003
There is a growing level of interest amongst athletes in the use of Hypnosis for performance enhancement. Having a performance coach is now an everyday experience for tennis players, golfers and athletes. In a world where success and failure (and millions of pounds) can be measured in slivers of a second, or millimetres of accuracy, anything that can bring an edge - legally - is worth investigating.
This book delivers a step-by-step guide for those interested in working with sports people. Their approach is based on a four step model which allows those new to this field to be clear about what to achieve and how to achieve it. They support this framework with clear case studies, transcripts of particular interventions, and interesting anecdotes.
I found their in-depth exploration of the use of particular trance phenomena in focusing the client on positive outcomes to be especially good. The authors are very much at the 'new hypnosis' end of the profession, not attributing the efficacy of a technique to the trance depth of the client, so the chapter on Alert Hypnosis explains the uses of, and how to achieve, an eyes-open trance state, as well as talking and walking while in hypnosis.
While the book is aimed at sports psychology it has relevance to any field where performance is an issue, and as such is a welcome addition to my bookshelf.

I found the techniques used in these recordings to align mind and body very effective. Simply put, they work, and can be applied to other aspects of one's life than just the game of golf. I've shared them with golfing friends who have also reported similar reactions. Heartily recommended.
