3 main characteriscts of families of elite performers

Stages of dev. Elite athlete
Phase 1: exposure and Playful interaction, parents imp. 3-8yrs, reinforce interest,
Phase 2: moderate skill building, INTERNALIZATION imp. Of practise by parents (I question this), 6-7, local limited, introduction of low level coach. Here is where i was, went no further. Tap in to intrinsic motivation IGNITIoN
Phase 3: intensive preparation towards expertise
Coach becomes most imp parent responsible for finding best coach. Child must give up some things they car about, dp increases, disengage, to focus.
Then parents should disengage,

The flow method
–Overall goal + as many subgoals as possible
–Find ways to measure progress
–Concentrate & make finer distinctions re challenge
–Develop new skills
–Keep raising the stakes when it becomes boring
Ericsson’s misunderstanding of flow
Flow has nothing to do with enjoyment. Concentration, analysis and repetition.
Meditation dp?
