Let’s stop being less than the sum of our parts
Let's connect as a Gestalt. Let's create something greater than the sum of our parts. Let's connect for more, not less.
When players put all their attention onto executing their parts within a fixed sum of parts, and it fragments, players make uncharacteristic mistakes. The team’s performance becomes less than the sum of the parts.
Addressing this challenge isn’t about pushing players to execute their parts with greater precision. Rather, it involves nurturing connections between the parts to allow players to create something greater than the sum of the parts—a *Gestalt*. Players observe the big picture of what is going on around them, waiting for opportunities to step in and offer previously unseen alternatives as someone’s options begin to dwindle. Players feel like everyone is supporting them to succeed by exploring the unknown.
However, we must keep practicing *Gestalt*, as the ever increasing ability of technology to measure parts of a performance diverts our attention to perfecting a fixed sum of parts.

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. We can all move a little faster or slower - through the space between the boxes we put ourselves in. To find what we can’t yet see.
League players find ways - that they can't yet see - 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
Those who want more, believe there is more - learn the skills to move…
