“Think going in with a mindset of being an athlete, showing up like an athlete, and treating the sport seriously and just not double down.” —Melissa Corsiatto

One common hesitation among athletes is the fear of failure. This can hinder their ability to take risks and explore their full potential. By reframing beliefs and instilling a positive mindset, athletes become more willing to step out of their comfort zones and push their boundaries. This newfound resilience allows them to stay focused, persevere through challenges, and emerge stronger than ever before.

While physical training and mental focus are essential, there is another powerful tool in the realm of sports psychology— hypnotherapy. Hypnotherapy taps into the unconscious mind, reshaping negative beliefs, and promoting positive thinking. By accessing the subconscious, hypnotherapy can help athletes address mental blocks, overcome self-doubt, and boost their confidence.

In this episode, we delve into an uplifting discussion with bodybuilder Melissa Corsiatto, who shares her incredible journey of transforming from a hesitant competitor to a confident athlete with the help of hypnotherapy. Melissa opens up about the obstacles she faced, balancing motherhood and her budding career in competitive bodybuilding, and the importance of hiring a posing coach and treating the process as a committed athletic pursuit.
