Flow in Sports:
Reviews
Here's what a few people had to say about Flow in Sports.
"For many years, I've admired Dr. Csikszentmihalyi's pioneering work and have tried to apply his concepts on the football field. Some people have labelled my approach as 'intense,' but the more accurate term might be 'in flow.' Being totally absorbed in the task at hand is essential to becoming a sports champion. Flow in Sports tells you how to get into that positive, winning mindset."
Jimmy Johnson, Head Coach and General Manager, Miami Dolphins. Head Coach, Super Bowl Champion Dallas Cowboys (1992, 1993) and NCAA Champion University of Miami (1987)
"Flow in Sports is a fascinating read. Finally, someone has put into print what I always strive for when I work out and compete. For athletes who are looking for a book that shows how to maximize their sense of enjoyment and unleash their true potential, this is a goldmine of information."
Dan O'Brien, Olympic Decathlon Champion (1996)
"Jackson and Csikszentmihalyi tackle the topic of how athletes - from would be champs to after-work gym rats - achieve that wonderful altered state of flow where the muscles work smoothly and you feel great about your workout. This book offers an unusually clear exposition of exactly HOW you can enter flow in sports. It describes what's necessary, such as challenge, feedback, and focus on the present, and suggests ways to incorporate these elements into your sport. Lots of quotes from athletes involved in various sports help bring the text alive. There are notes, too, so you know they've done their research. Quite inspiring."
Susan K. Perry, Author of the Los Angeles Times bestseller, Writing in Flow.
