How effective is hypnosis in improving athletic ability? Is it harmful to use hypnosis in sports?
Hypnosis and suggestion, in one form or another, have been used to motivate athletes for many years. There isn’t a shred of evidence to indicate they ever did harm. We have had golfers, bowlers, etc., undergo hypnotic conditioning with excellent results. There is no danger of an athlete going beyond his physiologic ability and it seems that improved performances are actually a result of removing limiting inhibitions.
