[quote=Anonymous]DD is an elite-level high school aged soccer player with ADHD and plenty of anxiety. She's someone who finds long term goals more stressful than motivating, so it' more about pointing her in the right direction and then making baby steps. I often tell her to stop looking at the top of the mountain (college, national championships etc.) and just look at the patch of dirt in front of her. Don't get overwhelmed by the grandiose "might bes" at the cost of small progress now. We also talk about how to block the self-criticism. My newest thing with her is that she needs to stop listening to her gut, because it's wrong. Listen to what coaches, parents, etc. say if you know your internal compass is broken and set to chewing on your mistakes. This may be the opposite of best practices, but its working for us! [/quote]
