Very often easy solutions are the most effective ones ...
What like changing to a more established "iconic" coach before the Olympics to get to to the next level and fix her inconsistency?
They may seem effective but they are almost always bandaid solutions because they don't address the root of the problem, espeacially when it is psychological. Unfortunately, peoples ways of experiencing the world and processing those experiences in their brains aren't black and white. In fact, thinking they are is often what leads to the most damage.
Not to be that person, but I am a skater under the usfsa system and think i know what im talking about. I have suffered anxiety and depression that I tried to "grow up" and suppress and ignore and I ended up with a nasty meltdown just like gracie, and what got me out of it was nothing easy, I can assure you that. It is a long and difficult process, but it makes the strongest people in the end.
