Not much on sport applications, just one chapter, "The Body in Flow" which covered sport, yoga, martial arts etc.

What I'm having difficulty integrating in my mind is the author's explanation that clear goals, rules, and feedback are the key. It seems like many sport based flow experiences occur in settings where goals, rules, and even feedback are fuzzy, especially outdoor sports. I'm thinking that those qualities are there, but maybe less clearly articulated than sports with fields, balls, lines, and whistles.

Likewise in life, it seems like open ended pursuits often lack clear goals and rules,,, yet are rewarding.

I may check out the author's other book on creativity, maybe that will clear things up.
