From the Author
Duplicate past results, build new successes and live your dreams. For most of my life I have participated in numerous sports, from my early days Cycle racing to Boxing and Bodybuilding. The types of people and varying degrees of success that they achieve in sport, has continued to interest me. I first became aware of sports hypnosis at University preparing with the Boxing Squad to fight. With success in muscle building I’d already developed techniques to encourage enhancements through the mind/body connection. However, I had yet to discover how diverse and powerful hypnosis could be. Interestingly out of ten Boxers in the squad we all reacted differently to competition pressures. How were all these experiences so different, we’d all had the same coach? How is it that some athletes attain good results over and over again when others with similar physiques and training routines just can not make the grade? The distribution of my Hypnotic CD’s through my website took my work to a wider international audience. With my unique system that includes the ‘removal of barriers to growth’ they have become best sellers. The publication of ‘Unlimited Sports Success’ is a compilation of my work and experiences both as an athlete and Mind Coach. You will notice that this book is written for athletes of every kind, there are case studies from Football, Basketball, Golf and Equestrian activities to name just a few. You will see that the mind is the foundation of all activities, everything begins with the mind.

Introduction - Unlimited Sports Success.

‘Even when I went to the playground, I never picked the best players. I picked guys with less talent, but who were willing to work hard, who had the desire to be great.’
–Earvin ‘Magic’ Johnson, NBA guard.

There is one thing that makes a champion a Champion, the Power of his/her mind. That’s it! There is nothing else! Genetics, constant practice, natural ability, strength and endurance are all slaves to the mind. There is nothing in sport or any other endeavour that does not begin and end with the power of the mind. Everybody has the natural ability inside him or her NOW, to achieve absolutely anything.
The traits you need mentally, emotionally and physically for success you already possess within. With the assistance of hypnosis you can gain access to these abilities and experience the reality of your potential success. You are capable of being the sports person you wish to be.
This book will introduce you to many of the mental techniques I have learned whilst working with a variety of athletes from a broad spectrum of sporting arenas. You will learn simple methods written in an accessible, practical style which will enable anyone to incorporate them into their game. Whether your desires are based in the sporting arena or any other area of your life, follow the instructions and you will achieve your potential. I have total and unreserved confidence in your abilities.
Some of the techniques that you will discover are very simple, yet used correctly extremely powerful. These are techniques used by every single successful person who has achieved anything in their life, strangely enough every single person who has ever failed to achieve his or her desires also uses the same system! We all use these techniques, although the majority of humans use them unknowingly. Therefore, a person’s outcome is not always to their satisfaction.
You don’t need to believe in hypnosis for it to be effective. Hypnosis is based in the Subconscious mind, the non-critical part of the psyche. There is little need for conscious acceptance, other than the desire to be helped in this manner.
You will learn in this book how to gain access to past experiences of success and to duplicate those actions, whenever you wish, as often as you wish. In addition I will give you examples of the successful athletes who have used these techniques to achieve amazing results, and how they did it in case studies and custom made hypnotic scripts.
You will learn how to increase your motivation, at will. How to improve style and increase your stamina. Fear and anxiety will begin to diminish. You will learn to notice and banish success sabotage and other obstacles to your performance.
These may seem like extravagant claims, but believe me, follow your dreams and my instructions and together we will accomplish your ultimate sporting desires.
Read this book from cover to cover, as it was designed to be read, and you will have the tools to take your sporting and everyday abilities to the next level and beyond. It is true that this book was written with the sports person in mind however, many of the techniques within are perfectly adjustable to all areas of your life.
If you have bought this book and find you do not read it fully and subsequently do not act upon the ideas and techniques, you are doing yourself an injustice.

The Power of Hypnosis

 Surveys conducted on the effects of mind over matter documented that in a sample of over 800 women, 80% saw gains of over one and a half inches in breast size due to breast enhancement hypnosis.

 1808 - 1859, DR James Esdaile carried out thousands of major surgery operations using Hypno-anaesthesia.

 Nazis used hypnosis to dull pain during both world wars when their supply of Chloroform ran out.

 Major surgery; brain operations, abdominal surgery, amputations and vasectomies have all been conducted using hypno-anaesthesia, no other pain relief was required.

 Russian athletes after winning four out of seven Olympic games (and being second in the other three) admitted to employing eleven hypnotists to aid their athletes in motivation, style, strength, stamina and performance.

 Hypnosis has been found to be the most effective form of smoking cessation over any other method world-wide.

 Hypnosis releases Endorphins from the Pituitary gland in the brain – the ‘happy’ hormone causing a happy smiling hypnotic after the session is complete.

 Physiological changes such as reduced blood pressure and heart rate are immediate once hypnosis is attained, due to Autonomic Nervous System adjustments.

 Right brain functioning is the side predominantly used during hypnosis and is the key to accessing our behaviour motivations and past experiences.

 Hypnosis has the ability to increase visualisation skills and enhance abilities to hallucinate vividly.

 Injuries treated by hypnosis are known to heal quicker and bleeding is reduced far more effectively than by other methods.

 All forms of deep relaxation such as hypnosis increase secretion of the pineal hormone Melatonin. This is the natural drug responsible for inhibiting the growth of many types of cancer, preventing ‘free-radicals’ and rejuvenating the skin as an anti-ageing treatment.

 Yogis are able to stop blood flow and their hearts beating through self-hypnosis.

 Much evidence is available of the benefits of practising Yoga (a form of hypnosis) in treating Clinical Depression and Panic attacks in humans.

 The American Psychological Association Meeting 1999 reported that children treated with hypnosis for ‘Attention Deficit Disorder’ gained results as effective as those from the drug Ritalin. (Psychology Today, January 2001)

 Pain alleviation hypnosis was successful in the treatment of 169 patients who suffered chronic tension headaches. (International Journal of Clinical Experimental Hypnosis, 2000)

 Athletic performance can be increased dramatically in many areas, style correction, speed and strength enhancements are particularly effective.

Customer Reviews

Football Skills Unlimited!!!
Unlimited Sports Success does not claim to make an amateur into a professional, there are too many other variants in the world, but it does explain a great deal about what goes on in the mind of the athlete. Aspects that we can all use. I find myself constantly returning to this book as my life progresses and other tips become relevant, I often find myself remembering something Stephen wrote thus return to the book for some advice.

I have lent this book out on so many occasions in the past, but now am keen to keep it in my own hands as it is often tough to get it back. The reason the book is so sought after from my friends is that it deals with so many different sports. My father stole it for his Golfing advice, my cousin wanted to increase his Martial Arts internal energy (whatever that means!) my Sister wants to lose weight (whilst continuing to stuff her face!) and I need it for my Football skills.
If you choose to buy this book - take my advice write your name in the front cover!

Mind Body Integration - well worth the Investment!
'Unlimited Sports Success' is not only a book about hypnosis in sport but covers many aspects of psychology and life generally. Steve attacks the notion that mind and body are separate entities and reveals how each one of us can develop our performances by directing specific goals for our bodies to achieve.
You are led in stages through the book so gradually you become aware of why and how hypnosis and mind and body work so well together. The second part of the book concentrates on specific scripts for personal use. In the past I have read books which tell you what to do but not how to put them into positive action. This book gives you many examples of real life scripts and case studies for various sports and Body Enhancements.
