NLP Sports Training and Coaching Tips for Performance Coaching

At the centre of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.” - Lao-tzu

Or don’t double guess yourself, make the pass because you see the space…!

An eighth dan karate black belt told me last summer that

Bruce Lee once said ” I don’t do martial arts I am martial arts”

Humans beings not human doings ?

Empty your mind. Be formless. Shapeless. Like water. Now you put water into a cup,it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle,it becomes the bottle. You put it into a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can flow, or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

Bruce Lee

I love this quote by the great martial artist Bruce Lee. It helps me remember to flow with life.

How can you use this philosophy today ?

The picture above of my friend Noel Baxter brings alive the excitement of sport. When you dare to really go for your goals an incredible energy is released. Through discipline, courage and skill you can focus this energy  like a welders torch on your performance. Like Noel,keep your eyes on the goal and allow your body to respond to what’s underneath your feet. Trust the inner athlete …. What is your vision for your future ?
