All work and no play. We are all familiar with the feeling when something we love gets turned in to “job.”
This can ruin your archery performance.
When we work to hard at anything, the joy can get sucked out of whatever we are doing. After a long time of struggle, the concept of hanging up the game is in the forefront of our minds. Even though we love the sport and once had tremendous passion for it, that is now replaced by frustration. In this moment, we reflect back to the time when it was all exciting whenever everything clicked, when it all just seemed easier. Knowing that to be good at something, we have to work at it, we keep pushing. We work harder and try everything. New equipment, endless drills, new coaches, all in hopes of getting our archery groove back. Then your new coach says your form looks good and finishes with: just shoot more. This can be so frustrating! This is not the answer.
Sometimes the problems that are showing up have nothing to do with equipment or practice, the problem is in the mind, our mental game.
When we reach this point and ask the question many of us ask is should I walk away? The answer is no. Hypnosis can solve these problems. Problems with anxiety, target panic, competition performance, low self-esteem, a loss of motivation, being okay with winning—anything that crops up and robs you of the joy of the sport. Once you correct these hidden road blocks that are tucked away in your mind, you can experience the fun and enjoy archery once more, taking the work out of your practice and competition.
Hypnosis is the answer! It gives archers an actual way to work on the mental components of the mind that don’t support our dreams and goals, the unseen stuff that keeps us off the podium and from loving our sport.
