Peak Sports Performance
In this episode of The Grace Smith Podcast, we explore a groundbreaking truth: that the biggest edge in sports performance isn’t in the body, it’s in the subconscious mind.Drawing from her one-on-one work with elite athletes across golf, tennis, free diving, distance running, and Olympic-level disciplines, Grace Smith pulls back the curtain on the invisible factors that determine who rises under pressure, and who crumbles. Because when an athlete is stuck in fear, doubt, or perfectionism, no amount of training can override what the subconscious believes to be true.This is where real transformation begins.We explore the inner blocks most sports psychologists overlook, like the fear of letting people down, the trauma of past injuries, and the identity crisis that can come with success. Grace unpacks how these hidden fears quietly sabotage even the most seasoned athletes… and how hypnotherapy allows us to rewire the mind so that excellence becomes second nature.Resources Mentioned:Link to research: https://getgrace.com/hypnosis-research/Hypnotherapy sessions with Grace: gracesmith.com00:00 – What Really Sets the Greatest Apart 01:15 – Hypnosis: The Secret Weapon for Peak Performance 02:30 – Let’s Clear Up the Biggest Myths About Hypnotherapy 04:00 – Why I Fell in Love with Working with Athletes 06:00 – The Flow State Is Real, and You Can Train for It 08:45 – Who Thrives the Fastest with Hypnotherapy? 10:35 – One Session, One World Record 13:20 – Why Teams Trust Me to Work with Their Athletes 15:45 – The Mental Blocks That Sabotage Success 17:55 – Stress Isn’t the Enemy, It’s How You Frame It 20:05 – You Are Not Just Your Sport: Reclaiming Your Identity 25:05 – What’s Coming Next on the Grace Smith Podcast Connect with Grace: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gracesmithtv/Website: https://www.gracesmith.com/
