Timothy Gallwey also collaberated on a book called "Inner Skiing" with Bob
Kriegal.  When I worked I Hewlett Packard I joined their ski club and they
had Mr. Kriegal come in as a guest speaker.  He gave some remarkable
demonstrations of "mind over body".   After the talk, I began to use "Inner
Skiing" methods when I went skiing.  I don't know if it helped but a few
years later I was competing on Hewlett Packards race team.
