Play games to help your team think in a more fluid way

You can hire Games Coach to help your teams become more fluid-thinking teams. It's not just sports teams, but schools, and the workplace.  Or you can invite a Games Coach to do a presentation to your players, pupils, and employees, and then encourage everyone to go to our general public sessions. Here are some FAQs How do you spot a team set up to control the controllable - a control team. They all move at the same time and same speed - expecting teammates to be in the right place at the right time. Often rely on the speed of execution of a well-practiced plan. In the uncontrolled parts of the game - they tend to rely on 1v1 matchups. Players are expected to execute so emotions are tightly controlled. Classic examples are most GB basketball teams and the England Rugby Union team. In a bad control team, leaders focus on the details, and everyone blames, the biggest bully. Everyone can be stressed, anxious and scared when things are not controlled and do nothing even when they have the freedom to do something that is not controlled. How do you spot a team set up to win the uncontrolled parts of a game - a fluid-thinking team. As one player moves, the next player sees what they are doing, then moves, and so on. Decisions ripple out from the first player to move. All players move at different speeds, in different directions opening and closing space for each other.  There is a rhythm to it. A dance. Chess moves. It's connected. It's flowing. It is beautiful. Classic examples are last year's Golden State Warriors team that won the NBA against the Celtics despite the Celtics having player-for-player better players. Not this season as the Warrior players have lost their connection. Other examples are Manchester City football team. The Samoa Rugby league team. The England Netball team that won the Commonwealth Games in Australia. The old St Albans Lions Basketball team and the old Kardale Netball team - guess why Who wins in a game between a control team and a fluid-thinking team? If the control team has a big enough athletic advantage they can control the game for long periods - the control team wins. If the control team can't control the game - the fluid-thinking team always wins. In tournaments and the best of 7 games, the fluid-thinking team always wins because the fluid-thinking team has enough time to figure out a way to stop the control team from controlling them. A classic example is the Samoa Rugby League team. They got badly beaten by England in the qualifying rounds. In the Semi-final Samoa beat England - even though England has the better players across the team. The fluid-thinking team always wins when the control team can't get enough control. Which type of team is more fun to play in? For fluid-thinking players, it’s the fluid-thinking team. For rigid, structured-thinking players it’s the control team.
