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

This evolution enables them to face challenges with remarkable and inspiring moments of "Wow."
We play in a 1.2.3 Wow zone.
Switch off the impulse to build Lego-like pieces of skills and knowledge into a specified game plan; and
Embrace a serene sense of togetherness, equilibrium, tranquility, and awareness of our surroundings, and select a micro routine of movement to initiate moving around what we see; and
Take a moment to reflect on how the micro routine of movement changed what is going on around us, then select and execute another…
