The balance wins.
The best teams in football, rugby, netball, and basketball hold it: elite athletes show what they can do individually, and the relational awareness to relate as a whole. That balance finds many ways to win — in any sport, and in life.
Function and relational awareness can both fail at once, so they should be trained separately and in parallel.

Hello, I am Jon Thorne, and in the 1990s, while working as a business analyst, I explored how we could collaborate online by separating functional connectivity from face-to-face interaction. Later, I focused on training the relational aspects of face-to-face interaction for people who could connect only functionally. To bring greater attention to relational awareness, I wrote a book and created LifeSkills21.club.
My book is free and can be read online.

Hello, I hope you are well.
Early in my career, I focused on separating the functional from the relational aspects of face-to-face interaction. The functional moved online. Later, I focused on training the relational aspects for those who only see the functional. Today, @LifeSkills21.club, I use basketball and swimming to provide practical, experiential training in relational awareness. This approach is different from the functional methods typically used in basketball coaching and swimming instruction. We train people to relate as a whole.
My free book "Not Everything is an existential crisis" can be read @ https://jonthorne.my.canva.site/
