MENTAL TRAINING FOR EXCELLENCE

 1. Muscular Excellence  2. Mental Excellence  3. Performance Excellence  4. Emotional Excellence  5. Relational Excellence  6. Leadership Excellence  7. Team & Organizational Excellence

BODY – MIND EXCELLENCE

EXCELLENCE BODY MIND  Muscular Brain   Ideomotor Cognitive   Immunological Emotional  Cardio-Vascular Attitudinal  Endochrinological Social


MUSCULAR EXCELLENCE

  The ideal combination between tension and relaxation =

RELAXENSE  DEFINITION of RELAXENSE

 Optimal tension in the synergist muscles and Relaxation in the antagonist muscles


BRAIN EXCELLENCE STATE The holistic and the harmonous brain state   In Self-hypnosis (the Mental room) there are both qualitative and quantitative EEG-changes of the ”brain operative system” 1. from a ”split activity” state to a holistic brain state where the basic EEG level is the same in all 4 quadrants of the brain, creating an openess for especially holistic messages (images)   2. The ratio between the delta, theta, alpha, beta 1 and 2 in the mental room are close to 1,6, the golden number or section divine, the symbol for Harmony and balance.


THE HOLISTIC and the HARMONOUS BRAIN (Bundzen - Uneståhl)

 The Inner Mental Room (IMR) creates a harmonization of the EEG-activity with the same basic activity in all of the 4 quadrants

 This may be the main reason why images are so effective in directing the body.

Investigation of SUCCESS

  Tests, Interviews and Analysis of 15 Olympic and World Champions showed many Champion Characteristics, among them a C-chart with 21 Champion skills

  Factor analysis of these skills showed 4 dimensions


THE 21-CHART of CHAMPION CHARACTERISTICS

EMOTIONAL CONTROL I can not always control what is happening, but I can

learn to control my reactions and attitude to what is happening. I believe in the Mental Training View of Life as a ”Do it yourself” project.

Thomas Gustafsson, 3 times Olympic Champion



CHEERFULNESS - ENJOYMENT Sport has to be enjoyable or you can not be successfull. Carolina Klüft, Olympic and World champion



CHOICE – DETERMINATION Success starts in the mind! You will become a champion –

not by chance, but by choice.

Jonas Jacobsson, Paraolympic champion with 27 olympic medals including 16 gold.

The Four Success factors

  4 DIMENSIONS OF ”LIFE COMPETENCE”

 1. Self-image  2. Goal-images  3. Attitude  4. Feelings- Mood or Inner Climate

EXTERNAL SUCCESS

 US-study: 1500 successful people  Warren Bennis: 90 successful Leaders  Both studies showed three (3) factors  Self-Image  Goal-Images  Attitude  But not number 4: Positive feelings


INTERNAL SUCCESS EMOTIONS  Satisfaction  Happiness  Balance - Harmoni  Calmness - Security   Joy-Pleasure  Gratitude



External vs Internal SUCCESS

  External success does not produce Inner Success.

 Using Coaching & Mental Training to develop Inner success first makes it possible to produce a better external success

– A more relaxed and energy saving effectiveness without negative stress


IMMINULOGICAL EXCELLENCE

 Research 30 years ago showed:   Immune effectiveness is lowered by

 Worries, Depression, Negative and long-term- stress, hard training & work

 What about elevated mood and positive feelings -Inner Success?

  1. Intellectual goals to Images and Goal-Programming   2. Value - Mental process to find “Core-values”   3. Obstacles – Attitudinal change – Mental toughness training   4. Resources - Detecting – Developing   5. Alternative ways – Rational vs Imagery   6. Action plan - Cybernetic model   7. Tasks – Mental Training or MT tasks

”Intellectual Goalsetting” From SMART to MACT Specific Measurable Measurable Available Attractive Realistic   Controllable Time decided Time decided

From Realistic to Attractive

 The term ”Impossible” can impossibly be used about the future”.

 From Resourse directed Goals to Goaldirected resources Resources as a consequence of Goals instead of the opposite


”Impossible goals” Examples

  In my first book ”Mental aspects of gymnastic” is one chapter about Karen, with just one arm – 2nd in US college championships.   In my last book:  Caroline – one leg – professional golfer  Mikael – ICC coach without legs and arms

National speaker. TV: Armless, Legless, Peerless


The Cybernetic Goal-Programming model

SWIMMING

1. ”Translation” of Olympic victory to Times 2. Transfer of the gold race to goal images 3. Mental ”gold race” 3 times/week

Per Arvidsson, Olympic champion


Goalprogramming - Cancer

  300 cancer patients  150 exp. 150 control   The same Medical treatment  Pos. Goal image

 Reduced mortality



  1. Intellectual goals (Coaching) complemented with Images & Goal-Programming (Mental Training)   2. Value - Mental process to find “Core-values”   3. Obstacles – Attitudinal change – Mental toughness training  4. Resources - Detecting – Developing   5. Alternative ways – Rational vs Imagery   6. Action plan - Cybernetic model   7. Tasks – Mental Training or MT tasks

A. RESOURCES Detection-Identification-Utilization

 1. Using the ”Inner Mental Room” (Self-Hypnosis) to recall and relive positive and resource-.filled memories and experiences (experiential memory)  2. Conditioning the resource/feelings to present or future situations by triggers  3. Using the Trigger to release the resource

B. RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT

 Mental Training is an excellent way of develope resources, which are difficult to change by cognitive or behavioral ways.  Examples:  Attitude areas like Optimism  Self-esteem (being) while Self-confidence (doing) can be changed by coaching methods


Systems of Control  DSC – Dominant System of Control (Voluntary effort – Will - Trying hard) Energy consuming + may block the effect  ASC - Alternative Systems of Control Images - Triggers ASC is a very important part of MT  Energy saving – Letting it happen - Flow


Some areas where ACS is better than DCS

 Sport where effort activates the antagonist muscles and prevent flow  Sleeping where trying hard prevents sleep  Focus and concentration  Problemsolving, where rumination blocks more creative solutions (”slow thinking”)  Pregnancy


THE ABC of TEAMTRAINING

 A. SHARED ATTRACTIVE GOALS  B. OPTIMAL COOPERATION  1. Differences as strength  2. Positive feedback  3. Effective communication  C. TEAM SPIRIT
