No one can learn to use the connections between parts to create something greater than the sum of the parts when they are focused on assembling those parts into a perfect whole. They might even reject the concept of Gestalt altogether. The initial step in training Gestalt is to prevent players from adopting this mindset.
We then use the dynamic connections found in sports to train players to put all attention on the connections between all parts. To use what they see to offer teammates options as their own options diminish. In this way, players create fleeting moments of inspiration that can't be repeated. They create something greater than the sum of the parts.
By training Gestalt using the dynamic connections found in sports, you will have the mental agility to navigate challenges without relying on sitting down for therapeutic conversations.

About the event
We play Total Team Basketball because it requires Gestalt. It hinges on connection rather than surprise.
When we collaborate with seasoned basketball players, they often conceal their intentions and then execute swiftly to catch opponents off guard. They depend on the element of surprise. However, the downside is that only the teammates they've played with for years understand their moves, and the pace is so rapid that others can't respond in time to lend support. Additionally, a skilled coach can scout these players effectively. To play Total Team Basketball, experienced players need to incorporate clarity and patience into their gameplay.
