"Cassidy is a player with talent and passion, but she was struggling with the mental aspect of the game. As many players do, she was not feeling confident and worrying too much about the outcome of her actions. We worked on it and after those 15 sessions she found that she is playing again at her best level. I encourage Cassidy to keep playing like that and focusing only in what is happening in the present, not what happened in the past or will happen in a future. Great job Cassy!
