I would like to tell you the story of my friend who truly regained belief from his competing ability! Here's how the story goes like:

I was working with this friend of mine who was a football player. The truth was that he had a situation that he was about to put on a transfer list due to a tackling issue. Above all, my friend faced a very bad injury over 18 months before which was fully healed and he had been given the all clear. Such was the tragedy with him. I was feeling sorry for him, but not able to provide any help. May be due to certain restrictions! The help he had received from the club at that stage was not at all playing an effective role in minimizing the bad effects and he was referred to me.

From the angle of what I do as well as what kind of process we implemented in our doings, we looked for the trigger, the moment both systems started. Let me tell you one more thing; the guy was extremely process orientated and so the trigger when he realized that he is going to handle was an internal dialogue which began.

As far as that process is concerned, what we did that, we used a anchoring technique which made the connection to the physical stimulus of that action and at the same time was responsible for offering an entirely new direction for the behavior. This all was done so that he didn’t have the same internal dialogue.

We also made use of the replay of the moment when he would lose the power at the same time when he drew his leg back in order to get in the process of directly challenge for the ball which was the same leg he was facing extreme problems with.

Just when all this was going on, at that particular moment of time,  we used another anchoring technique to collapse the sudden loss of power and be overtaken with a focused drive that was experienced by my friend earlier also in the past.

He then went into tackle along with some other player as well and found that the loss of power had gone and above all, my friend was able to carry out through in a committed movement without experiencing any kind of fear or protective loss of power.
Later after doing a one on one session with my friend, what we did was we made use of  a values elicitation which transpired that his criteria had changed, as far as his thinking was concerned!
