Cartesian Splits and Chinese Splits: Gifted Kids & Sports Many gifted children tend to focus the greater part of their energies on intellectual pursuits. When they participate in sports, they often find themselves frustrated by the experience of “getting it” intellectually, but being unable to execute the techniques being taught, or finding that their body just does not appear to respond the way their mind does. Gifted children will often respond by increasing their focus on their intellectual skills, neglecting or dismissing the value of the physical. Mental training techniques such as relaxation and visualization combined with integrated mind/body activities in a mastery setting, such as martial arts, can provide gifted children the opportunity to develop their physical skills in a fun and supportive environment. This seminar will draw upon current research in the field of sport psychology as well as the instructor's own experiences in both competitive and non- competitive sports. .
