In sports and in life, CONNECTION is as important as everything else put together.
The ultimate connection is called Gestalt—An immersive experience of connection that creates something greater than the sum of our individual talents.
When coaches, teachers, and players are unaware of Gestalt, it is easy for them to believe that achieving maximum potential necessitates perfect alignment, where everything fits together flawlessly. When they do this, they unknowingly remove the potential of Gestalt.
Coaches and teachers can encourage connection; only players can access and shape a Gestalt.
You don’t access a Gestalt by following instructions. It is achieved by observing and copying those within the Gestalt you wish to join, and processing the entirety of the experience so that you embody the Gestalt. It is easier to access a Gestalt when someone is shaping it.
HOW TO SHAPE A GESTALT - think Steph Curry and Antoine Dupont
1. Clarity. Ensure that the next move is apparent to everyone
2. Patience. Wait to see how everyone reacts
3. A Sense of Calmness. If the chosen move can’t be executed, stay calm, and allow another move of clarity to unfold.
The ability to experience genuine connection is a crucial life skill for the 21st century

An immersive experience of connection that creates something greater than the sum of our individual talents. 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.
