Document Summary
Elite women"s gymnastics: goals, self-control, misregulation & healthy adaptation. Perspectives on elite gymnastics: book: little girls in pretty boxes, an expos of the excessive demands placed on very young girls. 1996 olympics example: 3rd most iconic event in olympic history for americans. The women"s gymnastics team won the gold medal for the first time ever and in the most dramatic way. It was expected that dominique moceanu would bring it home, but it turned out to be. When we fail to think of some larger, longer term goal or value connected to our current task self-control failure. What kerry thought before the second jump: i knew that after dominique fell twice on the vault that we needed my vault for the gold medal. I said please god help me out here. When i landed i felt a crunch again? : there"s some evidence that religious engagement is associated with better well-being and adjustment.
