“I believe the most important development has been the psychological aspect. I believe, bodily, they’ve at all times been doing the correct issues, and (the teaching workers) coming in giving them the critique and suggestions that they should make it even higher. But I believe from the psychological aspect, it is understanding the best way to emotionally regulate, understanding what stress looks like, and the way to answer that. Also simply getting excited for each alternative, no matter if it is an A closing, a B closing, a C closing, it is nonetheless a possibility to symbolize your college at a really excessive degree. They take a whole lot of satisfaction in that. So, I believe they’ve grown rather a lot, matured rather a lot.”
