The balance wins.
The best teams in football, rugby, netball, and basketball hold the balance: elite athletes show strong individual function and the relational awareness to play as a whole. That balance opens many ways to win — in any sport, and in life.
Function and relational awareness can both fail at once, so they should be trained separately and in parallel.

Hello, I am Jon Thorne, and in the 1990s, while working as a business analyst, I explored how we could collaborate online by separating functional connectivity from face-to-face interaction. Later, I focused on training the relational aspects of face-to-face interaction for people who could connect only functionally. To bring greater attention to relational awareness, I wrote a book and created LifeSkills21.club.
My book is free and can be read online.
