Different experimental research underlined a critical link between peak performances in sport and Flow. After presenting this data and discussing the role of optimal experience in sport psychology, this chapter discusses tools and strategies available for trainers and instructors for activating positive change in athletes and teams. Moreover, sports and business are similar realities, in which a careful handling of the human capital can make the difference between success and failure. From this perspective and according to multidimensional Flow construct, the chapter concludes that, to reach optimal functioning, the individual needs challenging tasks, clear, realistic objectives and adequate feedback.

Abstract
Different experimental research underlined a critical link between peak performances in sport and Flow. After presenting this data and discussing the role of optimal experience in sport psychology, this chapter discusses tools and strategies available for trainers and instructors for activating positive change in athletes and teams. Moreover, sports and business are similar realities, in which a careful handling of the human capital can make the difference between success and failure. From this perspective and according to multidimensional Flow construct, the chapter concludes that, to reach optimal functioning, the individual needs challenging tasks, clear, realistic objectives and adequate feedback.
