Paying attention to the cohesive whole.
Whenever players and coaches are asked about how they won a close game, they nearly always say how they connected as a cohesive whole. Yet, little attention is given to training the ability to sustain a cohesive whole.
_______________
To avoid limiting performance to simply trying harder to execute the parts, we should set aside time to train the ability to sustain a cohesive whole. To recall the childlike joy of connecting as a whole without an algorithm directing us. Connect to experience something greater than the sum of the parts. To embody Gestalt. Experience what is beautiful, true, and good. To embody the full human experience.
________________________
We build an awareness of the whole from seeing the connections between all parts. We shape this whole, so new opportunities emerge as current ones dwindle. Two of the most effective activities for training this are basketball and swimming.

About the event
For all-ability younger teenagers to play Basketball using a new way of thinking of space and timing to success. Think of how older experienced players beat younger faster players. It’s all in the timing and direction of movement - a moment faster or slower - to find what we can’t yet see.
To see new things - that once seen - we wonder why we didn’t see it before. A Wow moment.
League players learn how to play in a higher league than their athletic skills allow
All-ability players find ways - that they can't yet see - to improve @ Basketball
Everyone learns the skills to do things they didn’t see themselves doing
16 to 60+
