i was not a fan of cori close, but i am liking what i'm hearing now. sounds like their sports psychology is quite sophisticated, with several tracks - visualization and other peak performance methods plus addressing distress openly and transparently. both close and betts are saying betts came to ucla discouraged, even depressed. both close and betts talk about facing that and overcoming it. i don't think that's one of stanford's strengths. any player's emotional problem is private, therefore hard to tell how well it is addressed, if at all.
