Document Summary
O mostly girls gymnastics: they are young girls who are really doing well in the field!! If you"re going to do gymnastics, the best thing is to be built like a missile: you"ll fly through the air better, don"t want to be tall or curvy, younger girls before they"re developed. So much self control: self control when we can override our typical response because of something. Ingredients of successful self-regulation under-regulation most common: 1. Standards: they know exactly the difficulty, what the judges value , they know exactly what they need to do ! (gymnasts, 2. Monitoring of feedback: they live in a feedback-rich environment, they"re being judged, coached, parents, etc, 3. Under-regulation: normal for normal people, but not a problem for gymnasts, they have misregulation. If you fail at something it"s because you fail to monitor or lack self-control (mostly self-control issues)
