Hypnosis is an invaluable tool to quickly and effectively influence the subconscious mind and to promote lasting change. Therapists with some knowledge of hypnosis can now begin applying their skills in working with athletes of all ages.

This is an excellent resource for anyone currently using hypnotherapy in their clinical practice and who wishes to expand into sport psychology.
