Louisa Nicola discusses the concept of "Three Minds" in sports psychology, highlighting their importance in reaching the flow state or peak performance state. According to Louisa Nicola, we possess three types of minds:
- Positive Mind: Contains positive thoughts.
- Negative Mind: Consists of negative thoughts.
- No Thought Mind: This is where no thoughts occur.
To attain the flow state, one needs to operate primarily from the "No Thought Mind." This state occurs when one transcends both positive and negative thoughts, achieving a moment of pure focus and presence. Louisa illustrates this concept with an example of Michael Jordan's performance in an NBA playoff game, suggesting he was in this state of "no thought" during his peak performance 1.
