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 are giving all their attention to flawlessly executing their part in a fixed sum of parts, any fragmentation leads to uncharacteristic mistakes, and 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 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 know they have each other's backs as they navigate the unknown, instilling a belief that they can achieve anything together.
However, if players neglect to consistently practice this *Gestalt*, the ability of today's technology to measure parts of a performance will divert players' and coaches attention back to perfecting the execution of parts in a fixed sum of parts. They will lose their ability for Gestalt.

About the event
Improve in-game decision-making at the club level - across all sports - by transcending mechanical thinking.
This session will be led by Jon Thorne, who brings over 40 years of expertise in understanding how the brain interprets its surroundings. Please note, Jon is not a basketball coach, and this is not a typical scrimmage; the usual rules of play do not apply. Instead, Jon will teach a unique approach to analyzing the game, aimed at enhancing in-game decision-making skills.
When players analyze a game in a way that mimics Artificial Intelligence, they wait for their coach to devise a strategic game plan to outmaneuver their rivals. Jon will give players experiences that differ from AI's approach. Players learn to perceive opponents not merely as obstacles but as limitations to their perspective. This shift allows them to navigate around these barriers and discover hidden opportunities. Teammates contribute to these revelations, creating…
