Voice Technology

for people involved in sport at the highest level

What distinguishes champions from losers lies not only in their physical capacities but also in their mental toughness. There is a constant pressure to go farther, to go faster, to aim higher, and to accomplish everything while offering the public the best image.

There is a mental side essential to sports. Becoming a champion involves    the understanding of one’s own mind and the use of mental skills to build mental toughness: the ability to handle pressure, to stay calm and concentrate, to quickly let go of failures, to avoid psych-outs and intimidation, to overcome slumps, to develop self-confidence, to handle self-doubts, to motivate oneself and to build good relationships with coaches and team is not a given to everyone.

All professionals know how hard it is to become an elite athlete. Daily life has to be organised according to strict guidelines and working schedules: dietary regimens, training programs, travel itineraries, competition meets, team rosters, codes of behaviour and conduct et cetera. Despite their strong physical appearance, athletes are often vulnerable in their psyche.

As a champion you more than certainly have been coached. Are you totally satisfied?

Are you always at your peak performance level?

Do you still have self-doubts, anxiety, eating disorders and despair?

If so you may be interested in what The Institute for Self-help Holistic Therapies Ltd. can bring to you as support in the domain of Sport Psychology:

Voice Technology can help you eliminate fears:

fear of re-injury, fear of not meeting expectations from your coach, family and friends       

Fears are often a result of negative images, memories of past injuries or negative self-talk. They cast a dark shadow on one’s confidence and are a major hindrance to performance. Voice Technology can remove them fast and efficiently. 

Voice Technology can help you erase or overcome:

• Self-doubts and lack of confidence       

• Inhibiting negative cognitions       

• Bad relationships with team and coaches       

• Depression       

• Emotional states such as anger, jealousy, rage when they turn as handicaps

• Eating disorders       

• Substance abuse

You are not responsible for these problems!

Quite often the very special regimen that you are following is the responsible.

Some common staples are highly toxic to some individuals, they are the cause of those psychological suffering!

Have you experienced moments when you suddenly enter in a state of rage without reason or when you cannot stop eating? When you go nagging at everybody? When you are looking for someone to pick at, out of no reason?

This phenomenon is often provoked by the absorption of certain foodstuffs.

For how long have you have been told that you were the problem and you went looking for a psychological explanation to your eating disorders or other problems?

Are you like many of our clients someone who could say: “after so many years of therapy I know why I have those problems”.

They say this and still keep their problems!

Voice Technology can help you to:

Identify what food is toxic to you. Toxins can cause fits of anger, sudden tiredness, binge-eating, night eating, depression, social withdrawal etc

Balance your autonomic nervous system

Before competition Voice Technology will give you a winning edge on your adversaries by:

• Boosting your confidence

• Giving you free access to your inner resources…

• Controlling your HRV (heart rate variability) before and after VT could assess the efficiency of your self-help treatment.

Are you aware that sudden death is happening more often to people involved in sport at the highest level?

Had an HRV been performed and measures taken some drama may have been avoided.

Recently two famous soccer players, both at national league level, Miklos Feher and Marc-Vivien Foe died suddenly on the playground.

The autopsy couldn’t elicit any reason and no traces of substance abuse could provide an explanation!

Complementary to VT, WithYourVoice Ltd. offers a bag of tools that can be very useful:

The Institute for Self-help Holistic Therapies provides training courses on HRV and cardiac coherence.

We also provide coaching or training in NLP and Skills of the mouth to help you:

Set up goals that are attainable: Athletes always experience frustrations even when they win a medal because they set up unreasonable standards or they are compulsive to reach impossible goals. We have often observed disappointed and self-blamed silver-medals winners who downplay their achievement.

Reinforce the belief in your “self-efficacy” which will in turn build up your confidence. There are mental exercises that can help you build up your mental toughness. We can help you bring and anchor a positive self-image that will compel you to reach your goals

Reformulate your negative inner talks and transform them into positive energies. Negative inner talks increase cognitive state anxiety, kill your confidence, tighten your muscles and distract your concentration. We can help you turn them into positive inner talks that will keep you calm, reach a state of wellness and feel good about yourself so that your can concentrate in your game.

Handle the anxiety and fear of retirement. What are you going to do after all these years of glory? You do not want nor deserve a miserable life after your retirement like some former champions had: depression, social withdrawal, substance abuse, or suicide*.

^{*This was the fate of cycling champion Marc Pantani (substance abuse leading to suicide)}
