Sports & Performance Coaching
(including Hypnotherapy)

Allan Bancroft Bachelor of Education, Dip. Sport Psych, MAPSEP, LNCP, GHR Reg. M FETThad a three decade long career as a physical education teacher and he was a fitness instructor with the YMCA before he moved on to become a sports and performance coach. He completed his training in Sports Psychology (including NLP) in 1998 and he further pursued his studies in NLP when later studying Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy with the National Council of Psychotherapists. Allan has been a practicing for several years, working mostly with sport men and women and more recently with dance performers. He enjoys working to help both individuals and groups develop their mental skills in the areas of their lives that are important to them and he is a keen member of the Colchester NLP Group.

Allan explains that many factors contribute to sports performance. ln addition to the physical, technical and strategic demands of sport, performers must remain focused, maintain emotional control, sustain self confidence, and consistently apply themselves in both training and competition. When faced with inconsistencies in their performance, many athletes acknowledge that their mental state was a contributory factor. Seldom do athletes spend substantial time sharpening their Mental Skills, and few have any skill or training in this area, yet their mental condition is subject to training as much as their physical conditioning.

Developing Mental Skills is increasingly recognized as an important part of an athletes training. Allan likes to help clients (whether they are sports people or not) in the following areas; advanced mental skills coaching for sport and life, sports hypnotherapy, performance enhancement, control of anxiety during competition or performance, emotional state control, dance performance, sports performance, mental skills, concentration, confidence building, goal setting, target setting, weight management, positive imagery, positive visualization and relaxation work. Sessions with Allan cost £50, but first consultations are free.
