Discuss one way that peak performance is similar to flow and one way that it is different from flow.
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: To attain peak performance and to be in flow the person needs to be self-aware, not self-conscious. An important difference is that to have achieved peak performance, the person must have shown performance that is objectively better than they had done in the past. In contrast, a person may be in flow but not necessarily engage in their best performance. As Williams and Krane (1993) noted, “one may be in flow and not necessarily have a peak performance.”
