[QUOTE="willtalk, post: 3846666, member: 1220"] Threads and posters telling her she is unstoppable and inflating expectations for her is not helping her at all. No one is ever as good as their best game nor as bad as their worst. A player does not produce in 2 1/2 years because they are in a funk. Posters on a different thread declared that they never had high expectations for CW. Perhaps but they never expressed that in posts. All that was posted was expectations for her even being an AA her freshman season. I believe i might have been the only poster who stated that those that posted these things had too high of an expectation for her and that would impact her negatively so that she might not even reach her actual more modest potential. . People allowed her number on rating at the end of the year in a weak class plus a high scoring Mc D Allstar game to create an inflated sense of expectations. These expectations were not expressed for her benefit but to make those expressing them feel good themselves. Often the worst things a player has to deal with is the inflated expectations of their parents and fans. They are far better of if the people around them have a lower expectation than their actual abilities. It puts a chip on their shoulder and keeping them motivation. I have seen too many high school players fail to reach their potential because of hyperinflated expectations by their parents and friends which ultimately interfered with their actual development.
