I have a psychology case study & I need to explain how a psychologist from each of the 6 approaches in psychology would explain the behavior of the person in this situation

so i need your help please!!
This is the situation

Jane was a member of the girs' soccer team during her freshman and sophomore years, but did not get to play in many games. She worked hard and believed she was improving, but the coach never seemed to notice. As a result, when she became a junior, she didn't join the team. Her friends, who did get a lot of playing time, were disappointed and tried to convince her to join again. She told them it was no use; she had worked hard for two years and had nothing to show for it. For weeks they tried to persuade her. Finally, she made a deal with them. She would join for the first few weeks and if she got to play in any games, she would remain on the team.

K so i don't want anyone thinking they're doing my homework for me!! i have some ideas!!

i didn't have any more room so here's what i have started for myself

biopsychological approach - it's hard to figure out bc jane isn't showing any symptons of headaches or migranes?

behavioral - punishing: never got to play, so quit
rewarding: jane thought she was good

psychoan. - She's rejected by her coach bc the coach wont let her play. then i explain id superego and ego!

humanistic - believed she was improving but it made no use

cognitive - has to think about positives of staying on the team ??

sociocultural - maybe jane will feel embarrassment bc she gets no playing time


am i on the right track??

sociocultural - maybe jane will feel embarrassment bc she gets no playing time
she made an effort but it has no positive outcome so she begins to think of it as being embarassing to b on the team if she can't participate with the team

Lets talk about Jane.you diden't give past history reflecting any reason she would react as she did.
No one knowes what she thought,just what
her actions was.
a person who strives to do there best.is often made to feal they aren 't good enough.coaches often pick favorites less quafiled,over girls who can make a real
winner.
Jane set watching other screw things up.
If we could see in her mind,what do you think you would see.
Jane felt like why join,if she coulden't play.why waist her time in a sport that
she coulden'y play in.
My prof. ask me once.Mr, welsh if you bought a new car,.but was told you coulden't drive it.how would you feal?
I would feal like Jane.I worked hard to get
the money and waisted my time for nothing.
We still don't know how Jane felt inside,
because we cain't see in side her mind.
we try with all the experts we have,but in
the end all you have is shades of gray.open for disscusion.

I'm not a psychologist, but Jane suffers from rejection from the coach, which turns into her self-rejection of herself. She puts her self esteem/self worth in the hands of other people.
