John McKean Sports Mindset Programme
Mental performance and hypnosis for athletes who want to overcome the blocks holding them back.
Work with John to understand your mental blocks, rehearse a confident response and take it back into your sport—win, lose or draw.
Personal coaching / Your first step
Start with something specific: the nerves before a race, hesitation over a familiar skill, or a mistake that stays with you. John helps you explore the pattern and practise a response you can take into training.
What you noticed before the start, the expectations behind it and a cue to rehearse. Where suitable and with your consent, guided relaxation and mental rehearsal can help you practise how you want to respond. This is an example of the approach, rather than a fixed session plan.
The introductory call is a free conversation about your situation and whether the support fits. Coaching sessions are paid separately.
Ask John to confirm session length, online or in-person arrangements, fees, cancellation terms and any between-session support. Agree these details before booking paid sessions.
A parent or guardian should contact John first to discuss suitability, consent and participation arrangements.
One practical process / four stages
Work on competition nerves, hesitation, fear of mistakes or self-doubt. The approach is shaped around your sport; these stages are not a fixed session count.

Mental performance and hypnosis
Coaching helps you explore the thoughts and expectations behind a block. Mental rehearsal lets you practise how you want to respond before taking it into training and competition.
John may use hypnosis as guided, focused work alongside that rehearsal. Discuss how he would use it for your situation, whether it suits you and what you are comfortable with. Hypnosis requires your consent.
Questions about hypnosis or participation? →Progress is individual; no competition result is guaranteed. A parent or guardian should enquire first for a youth athlete.
