Hypnosis , long-misunderstood to be a pseudo-science, is actually a very natural state of mind that people are often in on a daily basis that occurs they are engrossed in a book, TV show, or are in a deep state of thought.

The Sports Hypnosis certification helps trainers understand how to guide their clients through guided imagery as a means to help them achieve their personal goals whether they be elite performers or people who wish to lose weight and keep it off.

“Sports performance is very much mentally-based,” says Spencer Institute founder, Dr. John Spencer Ellis. “Sports hypnosis certification helps trainers and coaches improve their clients’ mental focus, mental training, ability to limit distractions, and ability to visualize goals. When athletes can visualize their goals, they will be able to do everything they can in their physical capacity to reach those goals.”

The course is designed as a self-paces, home study program that includes instructive DVDs on actual hypnosis sessions, audio CDs discussing business applications, and a CD-Rom manual.
