Can EFT Reduce Sports Performance Anxiety?
Stress and anxiety can be part of an athlete’s world. There is often pressure to succeed and pressure to keep up or improve on previous performances. The stresses include fear of failing, fear of injury or re-injury or anxiety about overcoming an injury.
The major sources of stress that have been reported by sports persons include fear of failure, fear of being judged by others and fear of failure. This all leads to performance anxiety which as everyone knows will possibly lead to failure to perform at one’s best.
What is stress? Stress is an emotional response and it exists when a perceived situation and the perceived abilities to handle it are not equal. In a nutshell it’s a response to how you talk to you about any given situation. If your inner talk is all about ‘how hard it will be’ and ‘what if I fail’, ‘make a fool of myself’ or ‘lose’ you’ll create stress.
It’s a way of thinking you can learn to change and to regulate. Unstressed people are more effective, healthier, and happier and they have more chance of performing to the best of their ability. EFT can help you to change the way you feel and think, thereby changing the way you feel. This will increase your ability to win at your given sport.
Performance stress comes from a fear of social evaluation(what other people might think or say) and the feeling of threat to one’s ego that brings. Signs of negative stress include, having low self confidence, making negative comments about yourself, being more self-critical, consistently performing under your ability (particularly in pressure situations), having trouble sleeping the night before an event and feeling ill or upset before an event.
With EFT at your fingertips all of those stresses and more can be a thing of the past. You can relax, enjoy your sport, perform well and win with EFT. Known as acupuncture for the emotions EFT can diffuse any situation and restore equilibrium to both the body and the mind. EFT is the ultimate sports psycholgy tool and should be in every athletes toolbox.

My game improved immediately so much so that people were noticing and commenting. Thanks Christine
“What a difference EFT is making and I did it on my husband and my dog and both worked. I might become a therapist.” Haha.
