Train your relational awareness as a life skill
Return to your teams relaxed yet alert, able to reshape relationships among functional parts to sustain the resilience of the whole system.
Outcomes emerge from the interaction between the functional and the relational. Technology is highly effective at supporting functional connection, so many generations have grown up experiencing little else. When we pay little attention to how functional parts relate as a whole, fragmentation becomes inevitable. Better function alone cannot repair that fragmentation, which is why it can feel like an existential threat.
By treating relational awareness as a trainable life skill for the 21st century, we can stop seeing everything going wrong as an existential threat.
@LifeSkills21.club, we 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.

Many of today’s challenges are explained as systemic problems. But if a problem is systemic, what can we do about it?
The deeper issue is relational.
Many of us have had our relational awareness trained out of us by an overemphasis on the functional. We no longer know how to move through the space between the functional parts of a system, leaving us feeling hopeless.
‘Not Everything Is an Existential Threat’ offers one way to address this.

An immersive experience of being part of something that is greater than the sum of the parts. No ego ball to see who is the best. No arguing over who fouled who. Accessing the team's Gestalt is more important than everything else put together.
