Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Csikszentmihalyi's research on flow suggests that experiencing the pleasurable state of flow requires a balance between the level of challenge and the athlete's skill level. If the challenge is too low, the athlete may become bored or disengaged, while if the challenge is too high, the athlete may become anxious and overwhelmed. Therefore, it is best to have Simone practice reasonable but adequately challenging stunts to increase her chances of experiencing flow.
