About Games Coaching
A winning mindset - growth mindset - wellbeing mindset - all use the brain the way science says is the best way. That’s to make good judgments on when to overcome obstacles by improving our ability to execute what everyone knows works - and - when to use obstacles to frame the space into which we flow. Our systems of education are almost solely based on “improving our ability to execute what everyone knows works”. This is why many of us can’t have the winning mindset, the growth mindset, or the wellbeing mindset because we don’t know how to see the space framed by obstacles. Unlike birds - we can’t fly through trees because we can’t see the space framed by the branches - we see only the branches and so fly into them. It gets worse - the more we fly into the branches the more we practice to become better at flying into the branches. This is a losing mindset, a fixed mindset, an unhealthy mindset. Games coaching is about playing games to learn how to use obstacles to frame the space into which we flow. Click here to see a video on how obstacles frame space.
What players and parents think
- We went to the most amazing basketball session in Hemel at Longdean school. My son is autistic and has ADHD he struggles to follow instruction and is extremely demand avoidant. This session took all the barriers away for my son and he had the most amazing time, his words “I loved it”. Well worth checking out
- A young players - "I like Jon’s sessions because instead of telling us what to do we all just work it out ourselves"
- A parent - "It’s refreshing to see someone run a sports session with a focus on kindness and flexibility instead of adherence to set patterns based on traditional ways of learning. We have always been made to feel welcome and encouraged to participate and my children gain confidence by being part of something that requires teamwork. As an observer, I enjoy seeing the players thinking about not just themselves but the whole team. It’s not about just playing ball, it’s about creative thinking, consideration of others and teamwork"
