Bethany`s Notes
Notes: Another great example of an athlete speaking out about anxiety and depression. Despite having some of the best experiences and playing time as a freshmen Woods was struggling. It takes a great coaching staff to understand and work with a student athlete in this situation. Great job to the staff at Washington for giving Woods some room to decide for himself on his athletic future.
