One moment you're unleashing your power above the net, feeling like an invincible super hero; then suddenly you find yourself diving to make that all-important save just before hitting the ground! Even so, it's this rollercoaster ride full of highs and lows which keeps us coming back for more. As each point is tallied, a surge of adrenaline will course through your veins. You'll be taken on a wild roller-coaster ride, where you're either flying high or plunging low with every twist and turn. When the game finally draws to an end - fatigue coupled with exhilaration will fill the air and leave you hungry for another journey!
Volleyball is an activity that necessitates both physical and mental dexterity, as well as a great capacity for sore fingers. Generally speaking, individuals focus on the athletic preparation of the game without acknowledging its psychological elements. Indeed, mental acuity is essential to success in volleyball –– it's just as important as all that rigorous training! Did you know that hypnotherapy can help to take your volleyball skills to the next level and boost your mental game? That's correct, with hypnosis you can sharpen your focus and increase performance in volleyball.
Volleyball is undoubtedly a physically taxing sport, but it's the psychological facet that more often than not decides who reaps victory and defeat. Keeping concentration during an extensive rally or executing a flawless serve all necessitate one to be mentally adept - this is where hypnotherapy can prove beneficial. It enables players to hone in on their cerebral strength, giving them an edge over their opponents out on the court!
Professional athletes consistently repeat their moves thousands of times, with the guidance from coaches, so that they do not have to continuously ponder every detail in a golf or tennis swing. This repetition builds 'muscle memory' and allows them to access an uncommon state where the mind can step back and let the body operate autonomously. That is when The Law Of Repetition kicks into action!
Believe it or not, visualizing your moves thousands of times can actually help you boost muscle strength by < 22% without even needing to physically perform any movements!
As shown in the 1992 Journal of Neurophysiology study, this was proven when participants were divided into three groups. TFor four weeks, the first group underwent five finger exercise sessions each week. The second crowd mentally rehearsed the same exercises over an identical schedule without using any muscles in their fingers. Finally, a control cluster did not carry out any physical or mental workouts with their digits at all.
After the conclusion of their exploration, the researchers contrasted their discoveries. As expected, those who performed physical exercises increased finger strength by an impressive 30%. However, to everyone's surprise, even without any physical activity at all - just mental rehearsal - participants experienced a 22 percent increase in muscle strength!
When you actively visualize yourself as a champion, rehearsing your winning plays in your head, the outcome of your volleyball games will skyrocket.
If I were to ask you to create a mental image of a three-dimensional, round object like a tennis ball and then tell you that it's called an "apple", your brain would be able to make the connection between the sound ‘apple’ with the associated image. Consequently, this new pattern of synaptic firing will form a link in your mind between what an apple is and its similarity in size and shape to a tennis ball - something which you'll never forget! This marvelous process of the senses unifying all external data into a meaningful and cohesive order is made possible by baseball-sized round green objects.
From the visual cortex of your occipital lobe to the temporal lobe that assists in hearing and down to the parietal lobe, responsible for touch and feeling perception, an intricate network is established when you imagine a green apple. Your mental image must be connected with its associated word, texture, flavor - all components woven into one complex neural net!
When you form a connection between green apples and an existing memory, such as having eaten a red apple in the past, brain pathways become intertwined. This association creates an automatic reaction that does not need to be true or even logical. For example, if you tell yourself that you’re competing in the 2023 FIVB championship grand final, your brain will accept it without objection!
Nurture your belief in yourself as a volleyball champion, envisioning moves you have yet to learn, and build the confidence to fly for a ball or leap 6 feet high at the net.
By nurturing stronger synaptic connections, it becomes easier to alter the brain's architecture and devote more physical space towards becoming a volleyball champion
When you actively visualize yourself as a champion, your brain creates more ‘architecture’ space to build more synaptic connections for your ‘volleyball’ goals. With a proactive attitude and the right guidance, hypnotherapy can assist you in optimizing your volleyball performance so that you may reach your maximum capacity. You deserve to excel!
