Basketball and swim with Gestalt sports trainers.
Because concentrating on individual components takes away the perception of the whole
A typical brain has the capacity to hold awareness of all components and perceive them as a cohesive whole. Without a perception of the whole, you can’t see how moving parts are reshaping the whole, so new opportunities emerge as current ones fade. You can't see how moving parts continually generate something greater than the sum of their parts. You can’t embody the principles of Gestalt— what is beautiful, true, and good—the essence of the full human experience. It is worth taking time out to train the perception of the whole.
The sustained cohesive whole is a calm and continuous layering of unfolding options that finds a way. When it starts to fragment, leaders sustain it. The most significant obstacle to maintaining this cohesive whole is ego. A star player can try to take over a game, and the other players shift their attention to supporting the star and away from sustaining the cohesive whole. When players put too much attention on doing what the coaches want, nobody is paying attention to sustaining the cohesive whole. When everyone's role, including the star players and coaches, is to sustain the cohesive whole, everyone benefits from the cohesive whole. It's worth taking time out to train the perception of the whole.
