Olivia: return-to-soccer confidence

This is the mental-performance side of Olivia's return. For each soccer skill, she rates her confidence (0–10, what she expects will happen) and we track her evidence (what she has actually done since injury).

It is not a clearance tool. Physical clearance decisions stay with you and the medical team. Where her confidence and her clearance don't line up, that's where coordinated messaging helps most.
