everytime i start playin someone i ALWAYS start off real strong. i can runout out from anywhere the first hour or two then i get way ahead and mybe i dont try as hard, i dont know. i try to play hard, i do my best not to get distracted, but my game falls off after a couple of hours. a friend of mine went out and bought hypnosis tapes and it has helped him a whole bunch at golf and at school. it hasnt made him a better player or student but his focus and determination are unequalled. has anybody else done this or heard of this, wanna know some opinions before i go out and spend a bunch of money on tapes?
Thanks
 
I felt like your post could have been written by me, I start off really strong too and mentally tire after some time. I have played pool for about 28 years so my desire comes and goes but, I have been hypnotized and it worked for me. In 1996 I went to a hypnotist and I had her work on never giving up. To this day I can be down 6-2 going to 7 and I still think I can win! AND I HAVE! Not every time, it's weird but, I still beleive I can win. I've also used some of the tapes in the pool market and I think they help too. I think going to a local hypnotist is better than the tapes because you can work on what you want to work on and they will give you your personal tape.
Try it, I don't remember what it cost, but it wasn't much.

Louie Roberts was a firm believer in hypnosis. There are alot of athletes etc that use it for a positive attitude boost.

Tom "Dr Cue" Rossman, my instructor buddy, told me he tried hypnosis back in the 1980s. and about a month later he won the World Masters Trick Shot Championship.

its a personal decision, do you want to go through doing something like this? will it help? who knows, only one way to tell.

most people tell me to be absolutely POSITIVE you are getting a trained, highly qualified hypnotist, and not the guy down the street.

You might also try eating something - snickers or power bars - and drink plenty of water. After a couple hours you've walked maybe a mile (or more!), and concentrated a lot more than watching TV. The calories you've burned need to be replaced.

On that note: hypnosis will only help if your body is able to perform. You need fuel to function ;)

Ryan Elliott is a good friend of mine. His "Overcoming Contenderosis" tapes are very effective and have been used by many players, most notably The Texas Tornado Vivian Villareal. You can actually watch Vivian's expression and body language change as she bears down on a shot - then she goes back to being Vivian. Hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness, and is not even closely related to the garbage stage hypnosis that is seen on television. Hypnosis is a safe and effectiove way to deal with many issues both physical and psychological.

never even thought of that! makes perfect sense. i might try a candy bar and gatorade or somethin. theres this old man that i keep spottin but only beat him out of 20 or30 dollars bc my game wears down. wait till i see him next time!
 
i brought the focus on winning tapes by the monk with doubts but it really did help my game i felt so ready for any situation and my focus was so suprising.from time to time i listen to them again.think they were somewhere between 50-100 bucks for a set of four.well spent.
