My mom is a psychologist and she travelled to the U.S. just to attend one of his courses (we're Swedish). She had never played tennis but she got elected as the one he would teach how to serve and she managed to hit almost all serves after 20 minutes. She got so excited that she brought me to the U.S. to practice for a couple of days with Tim Gallwey's tennis-partner Sean Brawley.Throughout my life I've always been extremely bad at performing under pressure (especially in tennis) but he taught me things about myself which improved my tennis more in an hour than a full year of practice with any other coach. I never became a good tennis player (partly because I'm cross-eyed and therefore lack normal depth perception) but I've had amazing use of the tricks he taught me and a couple of years ago it helped me win the World Championship in NHL 2004. It still amazes me how I managed to overcome my extreme performance anxiety (which has always stopped me from performing well when it mattered the most) and focus, while having four TV-cameras right behind me. It was like someone else was playing for me.
