Paying attention to the cohesive whole.
Whenever players and coaches are asked about how they won a close game, they nearly always say how they connected as a cohesive whole. Yet, little attention is given to training the ability to sustain a cohesive whole.
_______________
To avoid limiting performance to simply trying harder to execute the parts, we should set aside time to train the ability to sustain a cohesive whole. To recall the childlike joy of connecting as a whole without an algorithm directing us. Connect to experience something greater than the sum of the parts. To embody Gestalt. Experience what is beautiful, true, and good. To embody the full human experience.
________________________
We build an awareness of the whole from seeing the connections between all parts. We shape this whole, so new opportunities emerge as current ones dwindle. Two of the most effective activities for training this are basketball and swimming.

About the event
Get better at thinking outside the box by playing basketball.
Players get better at seeing the depth of space between all the other players in a game. Better at reading the whole of what is happening. Better at timing a direction of movement through the space between players. To see what they can’t yet see. That once seen they wonder why they didn’t see it before. A Wow moment. They learn the skills of space and timing to think outside the box. To be more agile and creative to thrive in today's chaotic world.
