Yesterday, Mikaela Brass shot Sweden to a point against Spain. She was completely dominant in the second half and set eight goals when Sweden miraculously turned the nine-goal sub to a draw. A real ice-cream for the 25-year-old who came to the World Cup with low confidence after getting poor playing time in his German club Thüringer HC.

- There was no good feeling for the championship, says Mässing. But we get tools to work with from our KBT therapist who is here (Malin Tillman, sports psychological adviser).

How did you get help?

- She has helped me to think away all the bad thoughts you get and think ahead all the time.

In what way has it helped?

- You have a lot of disaster thoughts like "it will never go well for me" and "if I come in now I will ruin for the team". Thoughts that aren't as fun to have when playing handball. So you get tools to remove them simply.

Yesterday you still started to miss a shot, does it start again?

- Yes, but it is. But in the middle of a match, there is not really room to have such thoughts but it is clear they will try to destroy one. Sometimes things go better, sometimes not.

How's the feeling when it comes off?

- Very nice, indescribable, very wonderful.

Brass is Sweden's only prominent shooter from nine meters and now she hopes to have more time on the pitch.

- I hope to get the chance in more matches and show what I go for.
