For Athletes
You already have the training, skill and physical ability. Calibrated State works with the subconscious responses that can affect how freely you access what you’ve trained for.
We use hypnosis to work with what happens before you have time to think about it.
You can prepare properly, know exactly what you need to do and still respond differently when the moment arrives.
A mistake can stay with you longer than you want it to. You can start thinking about something you normally do instinctively. Pressure can change how freely you play. You can know you need to reset and still find yourself replaying what just happened.
Your ability hasn’t disappeared.
That’s where I work.
Through hypnosis, we work with the subconscious responses and patterns that can influence what happens in those moments, with the goal of making it easier to trust your instincts, reset quickly and let your training take over.
There may be one response you want to change, or several things that seem to be connected.
Maybe you want to recover quickly from mistakes instead of taking them into the next play. You want to trust decisions without hesitating. You want to compete without overthinking movements you’ve performed thousands of times. You want to stay composed when pressure rises, access flow more readily or sleep and recover well between performances.
Or you may simply know that you’re capable of performing more freely than you are right now.
We start by understanding what’s happening for you, what you would like to be different and how you would like to respond instead.
From there, the work may focus on a specific response, pattern or behaviour, or take place through one of Calibrated State’s structured protocols.
Athletes spend years training skills until they can perform them without consciously thinking through every movement.
But automatic responses aren’t limited to your physical skills. How you respond after a mistake, what happens when pressure rises, whether you hesitate or trust an instinct, and how easily you settle into sleep can also happen before you’ve had time to consciously manage them.
Hypnosis gives us a way to work with those responses at the subconscious level.
During the work, I use positive, forward-facing suggestions and scenarios built around how you want to respond when those moments happen again.
The goal is for the response you want to become easier to access, so there is less for you to consciously manage when it’s time to perform.
You keep the training. We work on what happens when it’s time to use it.
The work begins with what’s happening for you and what you would like to be different.
Sometimes there is one very specific response, pattern or behaviour we work on. At other times, several things are connected and are better addressed through a structured protocol.
Each engagement is individualized. The hypnosis work, suggestions and scenarios are developed around you, your sport and what you want to change.
The work has a purpose, and we stay focused on that purpose.
For athletes who want greater access to their instincts, composure and training when it’s time to compete. The Edge Protocol™ uses hypnosis to work with the subconscious responses that can influence what happens in competition, including how you respond to mistakes, pressure and the moments when you need to trust your training.
