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.

We mainly use basketball to coach space, time, and timing. For those Wow moments. Players lift their perception of space, time, and timing to a level beyond what is possible with sports coaching alone. And achieve performance that is a lot higher than their individual attributes and skills allow.

About the event
We mainly use basketball to coach space, time, and timing. For those Wow moments. Players lift their perception of space, time, and timing to a level beyond what is possible with sports coaching alone. And achieve performance that is a lot higher than their individual attributes and skills allow.
______________________
We mainly coach space, time, and timing using a version of basketball where the importance of technique, speed and strength is turned down and the importance of space, time, and timing - is turned up. The skills are very transferable to other sports as well as normal basketball. To life in general.
Click here to learn how games coaching takes space, time, and timing beyond where just sports coaching can go.

We are a social enterprise. We use all profits to give those who are excluded or vulnerable to social exclusion a free experience of playing sports and games where everyone set's each other up to succeed. Where everyone constantly imagines other ways. Where everyone uses mistakes to find what is next and grow. Experiences to build a belief that they are not stuck as they are now. Thank you.
