High Achieving Adolescent Takes It To A New Level

My daughter Ellie (not her real name) is a 15 year old high-achiever in school and competitive sports.  Unfortunately, she would often suffer from stress related to her academic and athletic performance.  For example, on the morning of a sporting event she would struggle to eat breakfast and would become physically ill upon arrival at school.  Mid-way through the Ready To Focus (RTF) program, she observed that virtually all the negative effects of stress had disappeared.  She now looks forward to her sporting events, and appears to relish the excitement and the challenges, just without the worries.  Moreover, she appears to work much easier through her homework than she did prior to RTF.  In general, life has become easier for her since going through RTF:  she seems to take things in stride in a way that she simply did not before.
