In sports and in life, CONNECTION is as important as everything else put together.
When we believe that control is the only way to stay safe or escape a trap, it's easy to fall into the mindset that we need to achieve perfect alignment, with each element working together seamlessly. However, this perspective restricts everyone involved to merely the sum of their individual contributions.
We provide an immersive experience of being part of something that is greater than the sum of the parts. To embody a **Gestalt of connection**.
We don’t access a Gestalt by following instructions. We achieve this level of connection by observing and copying those in the Gestalt we wish to join, and processing the entirety of the experience so that we embody the Gestalt. It is easier to access a Gestalt when someone is shaping it for us.
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

# The Importance of Training the Ability to Perceive and Sense the Whole
The whole is the nuanced, intricate layers of relational connections that constantly flow around us. It cannot be fully quantified or entirely comprehended, making it impossible to control completely. If we don’t keep our eye in, it is easy to become out of tune with the whole. When this occurs, we find ourselves expending increasing amounts of energy attempting to prevent our plans from being derailed by external factors. In our exhaustion, we may resort to seizing whatever is readily available, doing nothing at all, or attempting to push our way through. All of which fails because we are out of tune with the whole. It's why we train to stay tuned into the whole. It's why it is the one non-technical skill the best rely on the most.
