The Secret Mindset of Elite Athletes with High-Performance Hypnotherapist Stuart Walter

This week’s guest is sports hypnotherapist Stuart Walter - also known as ‘The Athlete’s Secret Weapon’. Stuart has carved a very unique niche for himself, working predominantly with elite athletes to help them reach their peak level of both performance and mindset. Working with more than 47 World Champions, Stuart helps athletes tap into the true power of their mind, so they are aligned in their goals, to gain a massive competitive edge. 

In this conversation Stuart discusses his unique approach to hypnosis and mental training. He shares insights on the importance of mental strength, why many athletes experience a fear of success more than a fear of failure; and how to overcome limiting beliefs. Stuart emphasises the enormous role our subconscious mind plays in peak performance as well as the power of visualisation. He also addresses common misconceptions about hypnosis and highlights the resilience required for success in both sport and life.
