Mindset coaching

Athletic success is as much about developing the proper mindset as it is about proper physical training and conditioning. With focused imagery, mental coaching, and hypnosis, you can overcome the psychological obstacles that have been keeping you from consistent peak performance. That’s why we’re called Peak Performance Hypnosis.

Your totally fair advantage

When you work with a sports hypnotist, you’re adding an important and powerful member to your coaching team. You have a coach for your physical performance. Don’t you deserve a coach for your mental performance too? A sports hypnotist like Jeff Richards can help you with the pressures that being an athlete puts on all parts of your life, including home, school, and work.

A proven resource for excellence

Mental coaching for athletes has a long and impressive history. The nearly-unbeatable Olympians trained in the Soviet Union in the ’70s and ’80s used hypnosis to give them their edge. Today athletes at every level and from all over the world work with hypnotists to help them be their best in a variety of sports, including golf, track and field, weight lifting, archery, swimming, gymnastics, skiing, marksmanship, and more.

Mental toughness for life

Your sports hypnotist is there to help you before, during, and after the competition.
