1/ These Commonwealth Games, we’ve seen a lot of examples of athletes performing well under pressure. But how do athletes themselves define these “clutch performances”? Our recent paper in PSE explores just that (free access until Aug 27!): https://t.co/oXL4GN5HOQ

Importantly, consulting with end-users during intervention development increases the likelihood of their efficacy 🗣️

So, this study provides a range of considerations to improve flow intervention development and subsequent efficacy 🤓

[Scott Goddard @ScottGGoddard]

New article published in @JAppSportPsych with @cswannpsych and @Chris_Stevens1

We interviewed runners to understand their perspectives on factors involved in the occurrence of flow, and related intervention strategies 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️💨

To experience flow on your next run 👟runners suggest:

- creating novelty or removing specific performance demands (eg running a new route or distance with low/no expectations)

- setting open-ended goals

- avoiding quantitative feedback

- focusing on process-related stimuli
