So my daughter is signed to a great college team and up until the past few months (after signing day) was VERY excited and things were going great in the gym. The past few months however she has been "melting down" so to speak at gym. Per her coaches her skills are fine, better than last year but not at all where she was early fall. She has become incredibly hard on herself, and nothing is good enough- she will even not believe her coaches when they praise a skill or routine. When we have talked about it she just expressed she's "not good enough" and seems truly afraid she won't measure up in college. Objectively she should be fine, but if her mindset doesn't improve she won't. She is working with a sports psych and that has been helping a little but OMG I have never seen her like this! I was wondering if any other gymnasts are fearful or stressed over the college transition? She knows many many girls who have gone on to D1 teams but they all make it seem like a bed of roses. Words of advice for me to share with her?
