EP. 50: Hypnotism for Athlete Performance/Mike Mandel & Chris Thompson

The Endurance Experience Podcast

Mike Mandel has been a professional hypnotist since 1975. He’s traveled the world doing thousands of hypnosis shows. He’s a forensic hypnotist who worked with the police on major crimes. These days he loves teaching hypnosis in our Toronto classroom, conferences around the world and especially online at the Mike Mandel Hypnosis Academy.
Chris Thompson got hooked on this stuff by watching Mike perform hypnosis at his University. He eventually studied with Mike and they became best friends. Together, they launched this online academy in 2013.
In our conversation I seek to understand from Mike and Chris, what is hypnosis, how does it work and are certain people more or less susceptible to being hypnotized.
We talk about the clinical and therapeutic applications of hypnosis and the efficacy of the results.
We talk about applications for athletes and sport performance. I seek to understand whether or not you can hypnotize an athlete to compete and perform at a high level.
Finally, we talk about mastering hypnosis and the steps one would need to take to learn hypnosis abilities.
