FLOW IN SPORTS: The keys to optimal experiences and performances
FLOW IN SPORTS: The keys to optimal experiences and performances
(Susan A. Jackson, PhD, and Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, PhD)
Clarence first wrote about Dr. Csikszentmihalyi’s pioneering work on flow in The Lean Advantage 3. “Flow” is the term coined by Dr. C. to describe those times when people report feelings of enjoyment, concentration and deep involvement, or a genuinely enjoyable state of consciousness. It usually occurs when we are struggling to overcome a challenge or achieve a difficult goal. In this book, Dr. C and Susan Jackson collaborate to bring the concept to bear on sports, perhaps the most fertile field for flow. Athletes, coaches and psychologists call it a natural “high” or being “in the zone.” It’s an elusive and desired state of consciousness conducive to optimum performance. The authors explain the thoughts and actions that athletes and coaches can use to set the stage for flow to occur during training sessions and performances. Their insights are supported throughout the book with real-life examples, and quotes from athletes in a wide range of sports. Get in flow, and achieve the most incredible performance state you’ll ever know. (To read more about flow and how Clarence has used it to his workouts, GO Row and Flow)
