Pakistan's national cricket team just won the World Cup, and apparently they got a boost by using hypnosis. Maqbool "Max" Babri is the team psychologist, and he is also a Certified Hypnotist.
"As a hypnotist I helped them let go of any negative past experiences and utterances of parents, and other powerful people which were in a negative light. Forgive others and self and not carry any burdens from the past or fears about the future. To remain in here and now play each ball, over, inning and match as if this was the only match that there is. Doing whatever can be done in here and now" said Babri. You can read more about it here.
This is nothing new, but it's great to see hypnosis being used at a high level of athletic play in a sport that gets plenty of international attention. It's just another example of how hypnosis can help people be at their best. Kudos to the coaching staff of the Pakistani team for being open-minded enough to use hypnotism as part of their team development, and to Max for helping them get such great results.

If you want to learn more about hypnosis for athletic enhancement, Matt, I would suggest Adam Easons Secrets of Self-Hypnosis. It would teach you how to create your own routine for improved performance. If you want to consult with a hypnotist in person, you would have to find one who is comfortable doing athletic enhancement work. You might start with www.ngh.net (The National Guild of Hypnotists website) and use their referral form, or you might do a Google search for someone in your area who specializes in athletic enhancement.
