Being a goalie is hard enough to keep focused when they're only directly involved with the play for about half the game, but with her neurodiversities it can be much more difficult for Ana to stay focused. One way that she does this is by keeping up an internal monologue of how the plays are going so that she can more easily identify when rushes are beginning for the other team. When a bad goal does happen, she's lucky enough to have encouraging defenders who help her mind get reset and ready for the next play. Over the years, she's generally had more troubles with gaining confidence in her own abilities than being overconfident. As for teammates, what she finds most helpful for maintaining her focus is to keep up vocal communication throughout the game so that there aren't miscommunications on defending rushes and defensive zone plays. Doing that gives her a better chance to not overlook any open players and being able to manage her reactions to shots correctly.
