And I am back. Welcome to an Olympic year 2024 and Paris. This is the year that soo many athletes place soo much pressure on themselves to perform under pressure on the greatest stage on earth. And there is the problem! reflect on your best ever results, the times you were in the zone and everything in training and competition just flowed. I bet you were not overthinking everything! So why is it athletes get anxious? if you best performances are when your were relaxed and every thing just came to you, how is placing pressure on yourself going to be beneficial??? The Athlete's Secret Weapon Podcast is all about questioning beliefs, rethinking the normal, sharing methods, processes and athlete stories. Each episode designed to help create awareness, allow you to think differently, and to give you a resource or tool to help master your mind. The person on the podium in Paris this year, will be the person with the best physical, nutritional and tactical application... PLUS the best and strongest mental state. Don't Leave success in sport to chance. Enjoy this episode. Stuart Walter, the Athlete's Secret Weapon The guy that 43 World Champions choose to get their head in the game.

My mission is... "To help change the way athlete's think, believe, behave and communicate in a way that inspires others" This is a daily occurrence these days. When you see those athletes on the podium and you get inspired, have a deeper look into their pathway to the top. I can guarantee that it is not all happy and easy. I know because I was there myself in my sport, Tae Kwon Do. I know what it took to get my head in the right place... And what it was like when my head kicked... repeatedly! (and that is not a metaphor) You are just like any one of my 42 World Champions or the weekend warrior who goes out to compete in a 5k fun run. Success is a result of the actions you take and the choices you make. Who in your sport inspires you? do some research and you will find that they probably had a tougher journey than you have, get inspired by them, like I am in my daily work in producing champions that you can be inspired by. This episode is about me and my passion in helping athletes break the mental barriers so the natural physical talents shine! Enjoy, Stuart Walter The Athlete's Secret Weapon www.athletessecretweapon.com

This Episode will challenge many people's thinking, good! What I do is to challenge your beliefs and get you to use the power you have in your mind for different results. There is a very simple process to achieve a result and this process is easily stopped by thoughts and therefore actions. If you have ever self sabotaged, second guessed, over thought or gone against gut instinct, this episode is for you. This episode is an introduction to what I am setting up as the podcast subscription to the 'Locker Room'. The secret place where I will be sharing all the tools, tips, resources and processes (including the hypnosis processes). I am about 1 month off this from launching.

Stuart Walter, The Athlete's Secret Weapon, the choice of 42 World Champions.

For years it has bothered me that athletes, more teams in this context fight for the underdog status. I get the concept, come from behind, put pressure on the other team. Does it really do this though? The human mind is incredible and if you tell it or someone says you are not as good as another team, it can be a massive limitation to mental performance when you need it. You can get greater success over you opponent by claiming your winning status in advance... enjoy the episode. Stuart Walter The guy that 41 World Champions choose to get their head in the game.

Another day and another call like this... I can guarantee at least 3 of these a week. For any parent of an athlete, tell me this is not your story? "Hi my child is an athlete and they are just not able to perform when it matters, they train really well and they are really good at their sport. When they get to competition, they get nervous, doubt themselves and get emotional. If something does not go their way, they beat themselves up and they end up losing... Can you help me? Yes, I can help and in many ways... Enjoy the podcast, and please share this with other frustrated parents and coaches, this may just be the solution they are looking for.

An incredibly powerful process that became a published book. It gives you the power to manage thoughts, actions, habits, reactions, techniques and healing if you are post surgery or broken! This is the number 1 go to process for me and 20+ thousand people who use this process. Imagine you can change thoughts, action behaviours and habits... as you sleep! Just 5 minutes a day is all it takes to transform your life. I make the additional comment here, if you are not willing to download this FREE eBook and invest 5 minutes a day on you, then are you really serious about change?  If you are serious about change and you don't use this process, you may have a fear of success that needs to be dealt with. And yes, fear of success is probably the greatest fear that I deal with in athletes, not the fear of failure they think it is. To get your free copy, please email me at [email protected]  

The main questions I get from people interested in a Peak Performance Program is... 'Is hypnosis real? will you make me do stupid things and how is it different to Sport Psychology or the latest trend, mindfulness. This Episode goes a long way to easing your mind to understanding hypnosis, me, my methods and the results. Consider 41 World Champions choose me... they are not forced, they choose me based on 1 reason... RESULTS! If you want results and solutions, this is a great listen. If you want to talk about problems, go and see a psychologist! That was a bit harsh, wasn't it? actually no. My experience of many sports psychologists, counsellors and wellbeing coaches is not good. For me it was a complete waste of time and money. And unfortunately many athletes never look any further into a mindset program because their belief is 'well if this is sports psychology and it does not work, why bother, nothing else will work'. Yes, that is a very common comment from people I speak with. Enjoy the episode  To connect with me [email protected] and visit the website www.athletessecretweapon.com

The proof is is the results. And just how can you measure a better mindset and attitude, how do you measure focus, relaxed and the trust, you will get through the work I take clients through? The results are like the question, How long is a piece of string? In all my sporting and business seminars and workshops, I answer that question with a length of string, and the faces of the athletes and coaches are all the same... shocked. I am not going to share the answer now, I will let you listen. This result I share, is not a one off, it is a real and measured (official timing) result from an athlete that is no longer competing, and he has allowed me to share this. Now, if you only get half this result, you would be amazed, if you consider the difference and apply it to your sport and results, where would that put you? If you want to get started with something to begin your journey into the mind, follow this podcast, the next episode is a FREE process and download that can transform your sport, business and life, it takes 5 minutes and works while you sleep.  While the Athlete's Secret Weapon Podcast website is being finalised, please check out the full website and range of programs available at www.athletessecretweapon.com   To connect and send requests for information on a performance mindset perspective, please email me at [email protected] 

The idea of working with a mindset coach is daunting enough without the scepticism of Hypnosis and NLP. Going to see a psychologist seems safer because they seem to have better recognition as a professional service. This episode gives you a great understanding as to why the 'model' for focus and change I use is logical and therefor possible. If sport psychology has not worked for you, you are among the many, I was the same. My success was looking toward the future not the past.  I allowed the deeper unconscious programs (97% of how we work) to change and not to try to use 3% (my conscious mind) to influence and create change. Not only does it add up, I shake my head at these highly book educated people not getting results and tainting your believe you are broken  and no one can help you. This episode is essential for any athlete, please share it. Even if you take these 3 main areas I focus on in the 1st few sessions, and take it to your mindcoach/ coach or psych and say 'I want to work on these 3 areas'. Get a plan set up to manage these and you should notice immediate results. If you don't or have not had any breakthrough or significant shift in a month, it is probably time to consider a change. Enjoy the content. Remember to check out the website www.athletessecretweapon.com   If you have any content suggestions, please email me through the website and I can create and episode for you.

As the athlete in you evolves, so does the actions you take and the challenges you face. Covid has thrown up many challenges around the world and I am sure you have experienced that in sport and life. Originally, the Athlete's Secret Weapon Podcast was me interviewing my clients and the best in sports support services to inspire you. Now this Podcast has also evolved. Now more than ever, understanding and knowledge is GOLD.  To help you, I am now adding knowledge of the human mind into the inspirational stories. I am also adding education, processes, resources, downloads and all for free! Even this first new evolution podcast has a process in it that will increase your focus for the year and get you diving into the deeper depths of your mind. Enjoy! Shortly, I am adding the Subscription based program that will be the application of all this knowledge through interactive Sports Hypnosis and NLP sessions. These are the same processes that 41 World Champions have used before you. Please check out www.athletessecretweapon.com for further details on..
