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
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.
