The flow experience is a psychological state of operation related to the highest level of happiness, having an intense focus, and being fully energized when participating in a specific activity. During the optimal state of flow, one's best performance can take place (Hektner, Schmidt, & Csikszentmihalyi, 2007). Most research has focused on the academic setting of gifted students due to the populations deeper thought process (Csikszentmihalyi, 2007; Park, Callahan, & Ryoo, 2016). An area less explored with gifted students and their flow experience, is athletics. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify flow experiences gifted students report while practicing their sport over a timespan of two weeks with respect to their goal orientations. Engaging a quantitative time-series methodological approach, this research utilized a Task and Ego Sport Questionnaire (TEOSQ) survey, similar to an Experience Sampling Method (ESM analysis), to identify student-athlete goal orientations and flow states of 21 gifted male and female high school varsity athletes living in a residential institution for gifted students. The sample of students were repeatedly and randomly interrupted, during shooting practice, game play, or drills during basketball practice.Research suggests that gifted students are more likely to be ego oriented than task oriented (Clinkenbeard, 2012) and our findings support the current literature that gifted students are more ego-oriented, overall and by gender (p<.05), suggesting higher states of flow during focused activities. However, during specific type of basketball activities there was no significant impact on reported flow experiences. In addition, neither gender nor race impacted their ability to achieve a flow state. One conclusion drawn for gifted athletes surveyed in this study is since there was a propensity of ego-oriented athletes, this population of athletes participates in basketball because they value the outcome of playing basketball rather than the enjoyment derived from playing.
