Anxiety in Middle School

In middle school I had a friend who suffered from anxiety similar to Royce but not as severe. His anxiety kept him from preforming to his fullest potential in school and in sports. In school whenever we had a project in history or an essay in English he would be stressed out and often times left the room to clear his mind. After this phase while working on the assignment he would constantly ask the teacher if he was doing the right thing, sometimes he would stop paying attention in class to worry about other assignments that won't be due for awhile. He was also an active member of the basketball team. In sports his anxiety kicks in before the game and after the game, but he seems to preform just fine during the game. Before the game he would worry about losing and how it would effect the team's chance of going to the playoffs and after the game he would worry about the team we were going to play the next week. Our coach knew about his symptom and did whatever he could to make him feel comfortable. The whole team also supported him in hope of lessening his stress to benefit the team and help him through his anxiety.
