In sports and in life, CONNECTION is as important as everything else put together.
The ultimate connection is called Gestalt—an immersive experience of being part of something greater than the sum of its parts. For example, think about being a member of a basketball team that performs at a level that exceeds the sum of the individual talents of its players. In this context, accessing the team's Gestalt becomes more important than everything else put together.
You don't access a Gestalt by following instructions. It is achieved by observing and copying those within the Gestalt you wish to join, and processing the entirety of the experience so that you embody the Gestalt.
The signs you are lacking the connection skills to access a Gestalt are below; the best response is not to stop doing them, but to stimulate your Gestalt.
-
Fixating on small, disconnected details
-
Trying to bridge gaps by rearranging details
-
Feeling disrespect, control, or anxiety with changes
-
Stopping connections that allow group performance to exceed individual achievements
-
Feeling organised yet isolated

We play Total Team Basketball because it requires Gestalt. It hinges on connection rather than surprise.
When we collaborate with seasoned basketball players, they often conceal their intentions and then execute swiftly to catch opponents off guard. They depend on the element of surprise. However, the downside is that only the teammates they've played with for years understand their moves, and the pace is so rapid that others can't respond in time to lend support. Additionally, a skilled coach can scout these players effectively. To play Total Team Basketball, experienced players need to incorporate clarity and patience into their gameplay.
