Physical Sport & Body

topic
Physical sport and body-oriented practices as creative inputs develop the specific intelligence of the body-in-action: the understanding of rhythm, timing, balance, and effort that comes from sustained athletic practice, the social intelligence of team sports and competitive dynamics, and the particular relationship to failure, frustration, and incremental improvement that athletic training demands.

Role

Physical sport and embodied movement practices develop the specific cognitive dispositions — comfort with incremental development, ability to receive corrective feedback without defensive collapse, understanding of the relationship between deliberate practice and performance, and the experience of flow states as a regular rather than exceptional occurrence — that all creative development requires but that most purely intellectual creative education never provides.
