Mental Model of Flow in Sports
This model helps athletes access 'The Flow State', a mental state of complete absorption where they perform at their best.
The Flow State is achieved when an athlete's skills perfectly match the challenge at hand. It's the point where they're not just playing the game, but they're lost in it, completely absorbed. For example, a basketball player in 'flow' might sink several three-pointers in succession, moving beyond conscious thought to react instinctively to the game.
