The Gloves Come Off

I admit it - I used to be skeptical about the entertainment value of certain sports (much like people are skeptical about hypnosis). However, those were my high school drama years and since then I have even managed to enjoy watching a good football game or boxing match. Accepting boxing was a bit harder, but then enter Bob Sutton, whom I met one night at Tomato Head. He was then starting a campaign to bring attention to epilepsy and one of his goals was a boxing match. Well, I won't go into it too much in order to stay on topic, but Bob brought with him an amazing ability to describe the dedication and concentration needed in the boxing ring. It made me rethink the whole sport.

When I first started with the hypnosis practice, someone sent me an article about a boxer who used hypnosis to help him improve his timing and concentration. He had won some title and it was a great day for the hypnosis community. It was also great that such an athlete had come out that it had really helped him.

So, as I notice that De La Hoya/Mayweather tickets may be on sale, I cannot help but wonder if one of them will use hypnosis in their training. It is said that Oscar De La Hoya is canceling a May fight to get in shape for a rematch against Mayweather. Seems like this would be a good thing for him, hypnosis that is. Just a suggestion...
