You have been working with William for several weeks. His play at practice has diminished considerably as the pressure of a captaincy mounts. His parents have noticed the decline and have hired you as a psychologist. They have also hired a strength coach for William. William’s parents have stated that they want you to help William become more assertive.

After your assessment, you agree that William would benefit from a strong sense of himself.

What general goals might you sent for the season and what specific interventions will be set to ensure the goals have been met?

Remember, William is your patient.
