In sports and in life, CONNECTION is as important as everything else put together.
We live in times that make it easy for us to believe that we must 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 **Gestalt**, where connections between parts create something greater than the sum of the parts.
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.

Players are helped to move through these 3 steps.
3 steps to playing without thinking like a machine
In this session, coaches help everyone to stop thinking like a machine. They help everyone - who they think needs it - to move through these 3 steps.
Step 1: Recognize the limitations of machine thinking.
Thanks to Dr Iain McGilchrist we now know how machine thinking impacts the brain. When machine thinking is in charge of how we see the world we only see what we need to see to understand how to control…
