[suchika]

Hello I am Suchika Siotia from India.
I am a Masters student in Psychology.
I have undertaken this course in order to gain experience of what exactly is sports psychology. Moreover my interest in this area is new so my curiosity has led me to undertake this course, this curiosity is because I Recently I got a chance to intern in Malaysia National Sports Institute under Dr Jolly Roy. All thanks to her.
I have no hands on experience in sports. Nor do I have a favorite sport .
This course would help me understand the field and also I would be able to see if I could include my Hypnotherapy Knowledge in the sport field.

Hello Everyone,
Ny name is Kai and I signed up for this course in order to gain more knowledge and tools to further strengthen my training from graduate school. My favorite sport would definitely have to be soccer which I have competed and coached at various levels throughout my life. I have a few years experience working within the field of sport psychology, consulting with various collegiate and high school athletes. I am hoping to learn more about the application of evidence based techniques as well as the steps to creating a comprehensive mental skills training program.

I used to be a swimming coach for the past 10 years but in recent years i have switched to rock climbing as my main sport of interest.

Always been very interested about the the physiological preparation for athletes and so would want to learn more and hopefully apply it on my climbers in future to come.

on a personal note, i used to play a number of sports, but again in recent years, rock climbing has been the main sport for me.

Thank you for this great opportunity to learn more.

Best Regards,
Jimmy

[swimtch]

Hi all,
I’m CH from Singapore. I am currently a swimming coach but focuses mainly on children / teenagers (non-elite). I do not have any formal knowledge of sport psychology and I was hoping to see how knowledge learn here can be adapted for my level of coaching. I hope to see if the mental training program can be developed for beginner level or even for those (especially senior) who is thinking of developing to their best at recreational level.

Dear Suchika
You were lucky to have the opportunity for an internship with Dr Jolly Roy at ISN in Malaysia. Dr Jolly is a very experienced sport psychologist and a beautiful person. I visit ISN regularly and will be back there in March 2016. I hope that you find a way to apply your hypnotherapy skills in sport. Have you found any readings on the subject that you could share with your fellow learners?
Regards
Peter
