The pressure on over achievers to maintain success is sometimes overwhelming. As the work get's harder, fear of failure (or disappointing loved ones/peers) sometimes will cripple decision making. [If I don't choose, I don't choose wrong.] Obviously, I do not know your daughter so this may not be the case. If it is, she may need to learn 'how to overcome failure'. This happens after failing, getting up and trying again, and again, and eventually succeeding. Just don't let her quit mid-stream.
