Abstract:
The study examines the role of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) in enhancing sports performance through the exploration of representative systems that aid athletes in improving their physical and mental abilities. The primary objective of the research was to identify the impact of visual, auditory, and sensory systems in athletes' performance enhancement and skill development. The methodology employed a mixed approach, involving both qualitative and quantitative assessments of athletes trained in NLP techniques. Data were collected through performance analysis, interviews, and NLP-focused exercises tailored to each representational system. The results indicated that athletes trained in NLP, particularly those with enhanced visual and auditory processing abilities, showed significant improvements in reaction times, skill acquisition, and overall performance. Athletes demonstrated a stronger ability to visualize success, listen to self-talk, and control emotions, leading to better execution of physical tasks. The sensory training, focusing on physical sensations and muscle memory, also contributed to improved motor coordination. Conclusions drawn from the study suggest that NLP serves as an effective tool for athletes to enhance their mental resilience, refine their skills, and optimize performance. The integration of NLP strategies in training regimens is recommended for sports teams and individual athletes looking to improve their mental and physical capabilities through targeted sensory programming.
