Message: [QUOTE="Bronx23, post: 2777572, member: 8501"] I think that Molly is a wonderful, highly competitive, motivated person whose answer to excelling probably was always hard work and more hard work. The struggles she has now at this level, can and will not be made better by more hard work. Almost everyone's advice seems spot on, but obviously it is much harder done than said. She's also very sensible and reasonable in her expectations in how and what she can offer to be and become a valued part of the team. She knows she's never going to be a star, and wishes just to help her team be better. I have essentially two thoughts about this. First is I hope Molly can learn to relax and enjoy the game more and then her allow her skills abilities and confidence to meet her capabilities. The second thought is maybe that is not possible or just doesn't work for her. Some athletes and some people somehow can't get out of their own way. If that becomes the way it is or remains, I hope Molly can truly emotionally accept and believe that she already is a valued, very important member of the team even if she never overcomes her fears / anxieties / lack of confidence. Her continuing efforts, positive team attitude set an incredible example for all! Go Molly! Enjoy your remaining two years as a U Conn Husky! Many good things will be forthcoming! Bronx23 [/QUOTE]
