Sports Hypnosis v's Sports psychology

[enquiry]

Could someone please clarify what the difference between a sports hypnotist is and a sports psychologist. Thank you. That is if there is one.

I am considering going to a sports hypnotist to improve certain aspects of my game, not technical aspects. Mental. From searching the web I am coming accross a lot of sports psychologists. Whats the difference?

At the risk of seeming flippant, I would suggest the difference is, the psycologist takes months to get results, and the hypnotist gets them in days or weeks. However, I confess I have never heard of a sports psycologist. Nor for that matter have I heard of many of those in my profession who specialize. Sports therapists are different, and learn to work with sports injuries as a specialty. Since you problem is mental rather than technical, why not consult a regular hypnotherapist?
