Basketball and swim with Gestalt sports trainers.
Because concentrating on individual components takes away the perception of the whole
When the brain is in a healthy state, it 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 achieved when all players, including the star athletes, view their role as sustaining the cohesive whole. It’s a calm and continuous layering of unfolding options that finds a way. When the team starts to fragment, leaders hold it together.
The most significant obstacle to maintaining this cohesive whole is ego. When a star player attempts to take over a game by focusing solely on scoring, the other players tend to shift their attention to supporting the star and away from sustaining the cohesive whole. When players put too much attention to doing what the coaches want’s, nobody is paying attention to sustaining the cohesive whole. It's worth taking time out to train the perception of the whole.

It's a shrunken court. About 5 meters shorter. This makes it more about manipulating space and less about athletic ability. Less running. perfect if you have not played for a while.
