Transform your sport or physical practise to a
new level of awareness beyond the sport itself
No Limits Coaching
As a teacher of tennis
I know that any approach other than mind over matter, the
wilful Western model, has been a long time coming. Although
exceptions occur, ‘mental toughness’ is still
the word of the day. Coaches promote strategies of the mind
to block negative emotions and negative feelings.
The vast majority of players, whatever their sport, are not playing
for money or trophies but play for the joy of participation, for
fun, for fitness, for relaxation. Good reasons all, but are they
achieving those intrinsic rewards on a consistent basis? Does
your physical practice support greater growth in your life?
No limits Coaching is dedicated to ‘clearing
mental and emotional blocks to
physical performance’. Our physical endeavours should provide
the stage for achieving balance and harmony in our lives. The
No Limits Coaching Process provides a new backdrop to the performance
that is all too often stuck in reruns.
Do
you want to feel intense positive energy when you play?
Phase I - Awareness
Without awareness we essentially play the same game over and
over.
Physical
Awareness:
You want to become increasingly more mindful of all aspects of your
game, your strengths and your weaknesses. Your technical and tactical
competence, your fitness level and your nutritional status are all
carefully examined.
Mental
Awareness:
Understanding mental and emotional patterns is the key to mental
awareness. You begin by investigating how emotions affect your game.
Most emotional responses are learned early in life from parents
and authority figures, and are often negative. When the game isn't
going our way, we tend to judge ourselves harshly. A negative impact
on the physical body begins. Vitality is strangled. With little
or no training in this area, players turn their focus to physical
and technical errors. The door to emotional aware ness closes, opportunities
for improvement are lost.
Spiritual
Awareness
Once you gain the knowledge of your physical and mental tendencies
and how they have an impact on your success, a path to new aware
ness opens for you, beyond the game itself.
The connecting of body and mind leads to a more balanced and harmonious
response to adversity. Your choice to grow as an athlete and a person
leads you to the path of mastery.
Do
you want to feel pleasantly challenged by your sport?
Phase
2 - Intention
If you don 't know where you1re going, how will
you know when you arrive?
You
begin by setting physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual goals
for your game. With your new found knowledge of how the mind/body/spirit
system influences your performance, you set out to "train”
old patterns out of your body and replace them with new ones. You
accept a greater challenge, the challenge within, developing your
objectives accordingly. Having set goals for your physical and mental
game, it is critical during this developmental phase, that you counteract
resistance and "allow" change to occur.
Do you want to feel deeply empowered whern
the pressure mounts?
Phase
3 - Integration
When we practise wholeheartedly we experience
wholeness
At
this stage in your journey you've looked at your game anew. You've
made changes physically and mentally. As you develop a deeper connection
within yourself, you begin to focus more on the process rather than
the outcome.
Awareness
is now active on all three levels. The program shifts to a free
flowing exchange between mind, body, and spirit. You begin to understand
that the body is the "bridge" between mind and spirit.
The rhythm of your physical practise constantly reinforces this
connection.
Do you want to expand your energy capacity?
Phase
4 - Expression
If life is a dance floor, begin the dance of
"who you are"
Through
physical and mental practise you have entered a fully integrated
state. Positive technical and tactical decisions flow freely and
spontaneously.
Emotional adversity no longer drains your energy. Pressure only
heightens your awareness of the moment. Beyond the game, you operate
in balance and harmony within yourself and with those around you.
You celebrate health and fullness of spirit honouring the connection
you have made to life through your integrated experience.
Life:
The Master Game
The
No Limits Coaching Process when applied to the 'Master Game'
promotes the integration of soul, body and mind by increasing
the opportunity for awareness to develop. Awareness is the
vehicle for change. Drawing
deeply on the Hawaiian view of man that human beings
exist in three dimensions, the soul or higher self, the body
self, and the mind self or ego. Information passes from dimension
to dimension, as awareness, through the body, which provides
the bridge between soul and mind.
In recognizing the varied needs of all of us, and the unique varieties
of the Master Game the Process features a Soul division, Body Mentoring and a
Body/Mind division, and No Limits Coaching.
Body
Mentoring
The
Soul work or touch healing branch, Body Mentoring is made up
of Hawaiian bodywork and lomilomi the Hawaiian version of massage.
These recognize that the body, the conduit for life expression,
is engaged in a mentoring relationship with the soul and the
mind. Hands on healing techniques open and align our three
bodies and assist the individual in gaining a more wholesome
understanding of their life experiences.
