I really agree with your "Bounce Back" rule. It perfectly illustrates the growth mindset we've been discussing learning that failure isn't permanent but a way to build resilience. Your advice on "quiet injuries" is also crucial; it's so important to address mental fatigue to avoid the long shadows that burnout can cast on an athlete’s future.
Regarding your questions for the patient, I think asking about "uncomfortable pressure" is key. It's a great way to matter-of-factly screen for stressors that might otherwise stay hidden due to social stigma. If I were to add one thing, I’d also ask if they feel their current team environment truly plays to their individual strengths and personal goals.
