How to boost confidence in a new driver?

IMHO... when I'm finding that my lap times are going the wrong way or I'm just having a hard time getting to my personal best....the first thing I work on is vision. Seems simple and something we all take for granted but after running a few sessions where I'm concentrating on nothing but keeping my eyes way ahead, the speed naturally comes on. If she's not keeping her eyes up, then she might be holding herself back a bit. But in a lead follow, she has to keep her head up and follow your line, hence faster laps. Just my two cents.

Guys
Thanks for the advice. It's all in line with what I've been thinking I recommended she buy a traq mate but I will tell her to take a look at the systems you have suggested I will put my Traq mate in her car until she gets a timer of her own. When I tell people to look far ahead I'm not sure that people really grasp how far I mean. Lots of my Markers are not on the track not even on the track property. Trees, buildings, towers etc that could be a mile or two away from the track.
