Eileen is reluctant to go out for the school soccer team. We want to enhance her self-confidence about becoming a successful soccer player. If we consider attribution theory, the best thing we can say to Eileen is:
a. Skill in soccer is totally a function of how hard you work at the game.
b. You have some natural athletic ability, and practice will make you even better.
c. Some people are just naturally good soccer players, and I've seen signs that you're probably one of them.
d. The game of soccer is largely a matter of luck. Some days are good ones and some days are bad. You just never know how things will go.
