[quote=Anonymous]How is she preparing for the mental health aspect of playing or not playing?  During her first few weeks at the school they will be bringing in the next crop of players who are better and younger.  It happens to everyone of the players.  It causes a major mental crisis.  They start to question why are they trying to replace me, I just got here?  Am I not good enough?  Did I screw up?

What are their plans when the stadium lights go out?  They will not have the chance to build a resume for when their playing career is over so prepare for that as well.  It is beyond year round training.  Finding a job is really hard when the only skill you have is you played 4-5 years of s port in college.  The adjustment to being a NARP is going to harder than any training or competition they have faced.

Make sure they follow the Hidden Opponent on social media.

I know all this because we lived it all.  A top tier school in their sport, started playing early, was the only one left from their freshmen class on senior night, The mental health aspect is not something coaches actually take seriously, they say they do but it's a next girl up world.  [/quote]
