Using the dynamic connections found in sports to train Gestalt.
Step 1: Stop trying to organize parts into a cohesive whole. It’s not chaotic—as players continue to fulfill their parts.
Step 2: Players put all their attention on the dynamic connections between all the parts, identifying opportunities to offer teammates options as their own options diminish. They create fleeting moments of inspiration that are greater than the sum of the parts. They connect in a Gestalt.

Flow state training for Competitive Teenage 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.
