I recall it is $200 per session and only required a few sessions. It was well worth it.

Generally, it is about confidence and focusing on the positive result (I scored, I got a hit, I made the game winning shot, etc.) vs. the negative result (I struck out, I missed the free throw, I blew the easy shot).

So praising the positive (carrot) more than emphasizing the negative (stick) is the best start.

This is an overkill, unless your child vies for a national team. A hypnotherapist? For regional youth sports??


Why is it overkill if it helps a kid? You sound judgy and negative.


People don’t understand that sports is just a vehicle for growth, leaning to work as a team and grace under pressure.

They think everybody want kids to play sports gor $$, fame and fortune.


How simplistic. MHow does a kid develop grace under pressure when they have anxiety? It’s not about wanting fame and fortune.

OP here. PP, this sounds fascinating and potentially very helpful. Could you please share the name of this group out in Tyson's or at least what this is called when you work with functional and cognitive movement/processing at the same time?

Thanks in advance.
