When it’s not working, we often limit our response to doubling down on fixing faulty parts, when we should also focus on strengthening the relationships between the parts so they connect better as a whole.
The whole is not the sum
of its parts. It's the
relationship
between them.
Insight emerges from the relationship of the whole, not from a reduction to the parts.
The ability to keep discovering new ways to make things work emerges from our relationship with the whole.
The generation that emerged from the world war developed relational skills to engineer standards while rebuilding after the war. Later generations used technology to extend those inherited skills, breaking the world down into smaller parts. Today we need relational skills to reconnect what has been deconstructed so it can function more effectively as a whole.
When you feel comfortably in control,
your attention is probably focused entirely
on fixing faulty parts.
Unless you also pay attention
to the relationships that connect the whole,
it will soon stop working.
Flow state training for All-Ability Adult Basketball players (1)

The flow state is a way to explain how the elite take their performance beyond the complete mastery of skills. We bypass the need to first attain elite-level skill mastery so everyone can experience the focus and performance of flow, using the skills they already possess.

Flow state training stops players from doing this ...
One team would get a clear edge: organized, disciplined, and patient on offense. They wouldn’t blow the other team out of the gym, but they would get great looks every possession. They would build something like a 12-point lead.
The opponent responds by speeding up the game.
The team that had been in control starts to look completely different. Instead of staying patient, they join in and speed up. The game becomes a track meet of players running from one end to the next. All that has been practiced, by both teams, gets thrown out the window. Instead of running sets, it becomes one pass and shoot. Players taking early threes. Poor decision-making.
These are not bad teams.
