Today, he works daily as an expert commentator on TV, Viasat hockey channel.

Johan has for years been supported by the HeartMath techniques, to create a state of successful for both himself and his active players to reach success.

 

Johan Thornberg says:

"My roles in sport have varied both as a hockey player, coach and commentator. The red stress thread for me is that I don´t like to not knowing, for example when I´m dependent on others' decisions, I am often irritated, when I don´t have access to all information, tightly wound up, loss of peace, sees in narrower perspective and nonexistence of seeing the completeness, communicates unclearly. The irritation makes me lose focus, I forget what I have influence on, and I begin to pokes in everything. I can be very emotional which is not always an advantage.”

 

To me HeartMath has been especially helpful to find my patience. I find my inner peace a lot easier, I don´t flame up, become more reflective whit a inner peace. My job involves long periods of both intense outside and inside pressure. One of my main strength as a coach is my commitment. If I lose my glow in the middle of the season, the whole team goes down with me.

 

Every day at work I use what I learned , I notice more in individual sessions when I give feedback, and I can support the boys, both in a clear and in a honest manner. Directly and from my heart. "
