In sports and in life, CONNECTION is as important as everything else put together.
The ultimate connection is called Gestalt—An immersive experience of the connections between the players, creating something greater than the sum of individual talents.
Without an understanding of Gestalt, it is easy to believe that achieving maximum potential necessitates perfect alignment, where everything fits together flawlessly. You remove the opportunity to experience something more than the sum of the parts. You prevent genuine connection.
You don't access a Gestalt by following instructions. Coaches can encourage connection; only players can access and shape a Gestalt. 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
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
