In sports and in life, CONNECTION is as important as everything else put together.
We live in times that make it easy for us to believe that we must achieve perfect alignment, with each element working together seamlessly. However, this perspective restricts everyone involved to merely the sum of their individual contributions.
We provide an immersive experience of **Gestalt**, where connections between parts create something greater than the sum of the parts.
We don’t access a Gestalt by following instructions. We achieve this level of connection by observing and copying those in the Gestalt we wish to join, and processing the entirety of the experience so that we embody the Gestalt. It is easier to access a Gestalt when someone is shaping it for us.
HOW TO SHAPE A GESTALT - think Steph Curry and Antoine Dupont
1. Clarity. Ensure that the next move is apparent to everyone
2. Patience. Wait to see how everyone reacts
3. A Sense of Calmness. If the chosen move can’t be executed, stay calm, and allow another move of clarity to unfold.

Enjoy the freedom of playing - thinking - outside the box - by playing basketball. Thinking inside the box - we achieve what we can reach. Thinking outside the box we attain performance beyond our reach. We find other ways we can’t yet see. That once seen we wonder why we didn’t see it before. A Wow moment.

What players and parents think
We went to the most amazing basketball session in Hemel at Longdean school. My son is autistic and has ADHD he struggles to follow instruction and is extremely demand avoidant. This session took all the barriers away for my son and he had the most amazing time, his words “I loved it”. Well worth checking out
A young player - "I like Jon’s sessions because instead of telling us what to do we all just work it out ourselves"
A parent - "It’s refreshing to see someone run a sports session with a focus on kindness and flexibility instead of adherence to set patterns based on traditional ways of learning. We have always been made to feel welcome and encouraged to participate and my children gain confidence by being part of something that requires teamwork. As an observer, I enjoy seeing the players thinking about not just themselves but the whole team. It’s not about just playing ball, it’s about creative thinking, consideration of others and teamwork"
