Delighted to share 50 free copies of @nulakers@JCascagnette honours project investigating group dynamics in an elite Nordic ski team. Thank you to our coauthors @AlexJBenson1 Tegan Cruwys, @alexanderhaslam, & the elite athletes involved in his project https://t.co/0aybPuxYbS
Why do prodigies fail to turn early promise into later success?
No doubt, a lot of reasons, but one that researchers found: "excessive extrinsic control and pressure, leading to a decline of intrinsic motivation."
Don't smother and control talent, you'll extinguish the flame.
Hard work absolutely matters.
But so does recovery, so does having friends, family, and hobbies, and other outlets. I know that sounds sacrilegious to the 'pushers', but there's a reason why Nobel Prize-Winning scientists are 3x as likely to have a hobby. We need a break.
Very excited to share that the research I completed @NipissingU studying group dynamics among elite nordic skiers has now been published! Huge thanks to @MarkBruner@AlexJBenson1@alexanderhaslam & Tegan Cruwys for seeing this through. https://t.co/6zV2tj3hJA

.@emily_drake10 is her own toughest critic, but the 21-year-old from Stratford allowed herself to enjoy the recognition as @nulakers’ top female athlete in 2019-20. https://t.co/7gSF0OqDEl
